Composition of Neurowith-PG Tablets

Product Information

What are Neurowith-PG Tablets Used For?

Neurowith-PG may be prescribed for neuropathic pain, particularly when a clinician considers combination treatment appropriate.

Physician-directed applications may include:

• Peripheral neuropathic pain
• Diabetic neuropathic pain
• Post-herpetic neuralgia
• Neuropathic pain associated with nerve injury
• Other diagnosed nerve-pain conditions

Pregabalin is used for nerve pain, while nortriptyline can also be used for nerve pain by modifying how pain signals are processed by the nervous system.

The exact indication should be determined by the prescribing physician.

How Does Neurowith-PG Work?

1. Pregabalin – 75 mg Prolonged Release

Pregabalin reduces abnormal nerve signaling involved in neuropathic pain. It affects calcium-channel activity and alters the transmission of pain signals through the nervous system.

The product is specifically labelled as prolonged release, meaning the pregabalin component is formulated for extended drug release.

Role of Pregabalin

• Helps reduce neuropathic pain
• Modulates abnormal nerve signaling
• May reduce burning, shooting or electric-type nerve pain

2. Nortriptyline – 10 mg

Nortriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant that is also used for nerve pain. For pain management, it changes how nerves receive and process pain signals.

Role of Nortriptyline

• Supports neuropathic pain management
• Modifies abnormal pain-signal processing
• May provide additional analgesic action through a different mechanism from pregabalin

Nortriptyline used for nerve pain is generally started at a lower dose than when it is used for depression.

3. Methylcobalamin – 1500 mcg

Methylcobalamin is a metabolically active form of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is required for normal nervous-system function, myelination, DNA synthesis and healthy red-blood-cell formation.

Role of Methylcobalamin

• Provides vitamin B12 supplementation
• Supports normal nervous-system function
• Supports normal red-blood-cell formation
• Addresses vitamin B12 deficiency when present

Combined Action of Neurowith-PG

Pregabalin SR → Modulates abnormal nerve signaling

Nortriptyline → Modifies nerve pain-signal processing

Methylcobalamin → Provides vitamin B12 nutritional support

This provides a multi-component approach to neuropathic-pain management when the prescribing physician considers all three components appropriate.

Benefits / Therapeutic Role

1. Neuropathic Pain Management

Pregabalin and nortriptyline are both used in the management of nerve pain.

2. Different Mechanisms of Action

The two prescription medicines act through different mechanisms involved in neuropathic pain.

3. Vitamin B12 Support

Methylcobalamin supplies vitamin B12, which has important functions in the nervous system.

4. Prolonged-Release Pregabalin

The formulation contains pregabalin specifically described on the product artwork as prolonged release.

Dosage & Administration

Neurowith-PG should be taken only according to the prescription of a qualified healthcare professional.

The appropriate dose depends on:

• Type and severity of neuropathic pain
• Age
• Kidney function
• Other medicines being taken
• Individual response and tolerability

Pregabalin dosing requires particular attention to kidney function.

For nortriptyline, NHS guidance for nerve pain gives 10 mg once daily as a usual starting dose in adults, with gradual adjustment when necessary; however, this should not automatically be used as the dosing instruction for Neurowith-PG, because the product contains prolonged-release pregabalin and methylcobalamin as well.

Administration

• Take exactly as prescribed.
• Swallow the tablet with water.
• Do not crush or chew the prolonged-release tablet unless the approved product information specifically permits it.
• Take it at the prescribed time.
• Do not exceed the prescribed dose.

Do Not Stop Suddenly

Pregabalin should not be stopped abruptly because withdrawal symptoms can occur. Gradual dose reduction under medical supervision may be required.

Nortriptyline should also generally be reduced gradually rather than stopped suddenly.

Possible Side Effects

Pregabalin-related

Possible effects include:

• Dizziness
• Sleepiness
• Tiredness
• Headache
• Blurred or double vision
• Difficulty concentrating
• Swelling of hands or feet

Dizziness and sleepiness are among the common adverse effects reported with pregabalin.

Nortriptyline-related

Possible effects include:

• Dry mouth
• Constipation
• Dizziness
• Sleepiness
• Difficulty urinating
• Headache
• Changes in heart rate

Methylcobalamin-related

Methylcobalamin is generally well tolerated when used appropriately. Any unusual reaction should be reported to the prescribing healthcare professional.

Serious Symptoms Requiring Medical Attention

Seek urgent medical attention if the patient develops:

Allergic symptoms

• Swelling of the lips, mouth, throat or tongue
• Difficulty breathing
• Severe rash
• Severe sudden dizziness

Cardiovascular symptoms

• Fast or irregular heartbeat
• Fainting
• Severe chest pain

Neurological symptoms

• Seizure
• Severe confusion
• Extreme sleepiness
• Loss of consciousness

Serious allergic reactions to pregabalin are rare but require immediate medical attention.

Precautions & Warnings

1. Kidney Function

Pregabalin is primarily eliminated through the kidneys. Patients with reduced kidney function may require dose adjustment.

2. Drowsiness & Dizziness

Both pregabalin and nortriptyline can cause dizziness or sleepiness. Patients should understand their individual response before driving or operating machinery.

3. Heart Conditions

Nortriptyline may worsen some heart problems and requires medical assessment in patients with cardiac disease.

4. Seizure History

Patients with epilepsy or seizure disorders should inform their doctor before taking nortriptyline or pregabalin.

5. Dependence & Withdrawal

Some people can develop dependence on pregabalin. It should not be stopped abruptly.

Who Should Use Neurowith-PG With Caution?

Medical assessment is particularly important for patients with:

• Kidney disease
• Heart disease
• Liver disease
• Epilepsy or seizure history
• Respiratory problems
• Glaucoma
• Difficulty urinating
• History of medicine dependence
• Pregnancy or plans for pregnancy
• Breastfeeding
• Concurrent CNS-depressant medicines

Nortriptyline requires particular caution in people with heart problems, epilepsy, glaucoma and certain other medical conditions.

Drug Interactions

Inform your doctor about all prescription medicines, OTC medicines and supplements.

Particular caution may be required with:

• Opioid pain medicines
• Sleeping medicines
• Sedatives
• Anti-anxiety medicines
• Other medicines causing drowsiness
• Other antidepressants
• Certain epilepsy medicines
• Alcohol
• Herbal medicines and supplements

Nortriptyline can interact with opioid medicines and other antidepressants, among other medicines.

Combining pregabalin with other medicines that depress the central nervous system may increase sedation and, in susceptible patients, respiratory-depression risk.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Neurowith-PG should be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding only after specific medical assessment.

Patients who are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding should inform their doctor before starting treatment.

Driving & Operating Machinery

Neurowith-PG may cause dizziness, sleepiness or reduced concentration.

Do not drive, operate machinery or perform hazardous activities until you know how the medicine affects you.

Alcohol & Neurowith-PG

Alcohol should preferably be avoided or minimized while taking this combination because it may increase:

• Drowsiness
• Dizziness
• Reduced coordination
• Impaired concentration

Storage

Store Neurowith-PG Tablets:

• In a cool, dry place
• Away from direct sunlight
• Protected from excessive moisture
• In the original packaging
• Out of reach of children

Follow the storage conditions printed on the approved product packaging.
