GB 29 TOTAL
Product Description
GB 29 TOTAL tablet containing PREGABALIN + NOTRIPTYLINE + METHYLCOBALAMIN is a prescription neurotropic combination medicine used for neuropathic pain, diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, cervical radiculopathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, and peripheral nerve damage linked to vitamin B12 deficiency. Pregabalin helps calm overactive pain-signaling nerves, nortriptyline strengthens the body’s central pain-control pathways by increasing serotonin and norepinephrine activity, and methylcobalamin supports nerve repair and myelin regeneration. This triple-action approach helps reduce burning, tingling, numbness, electric-shock sensations, and pain-related sleep disturbance while also supporting long-term nerve healing. GB 29 TOTAL tablet dosage is individualized based on pain severity, kidney function, and B12 status. Common GB 29 TOTAL side effects include dizziness, sleepiness, dry mouth, constipation, and mild stomach discomfort. Regular use may improve pain control, sleep quality, and nerve recovery outcomes.
Pharmacist Note
Take GB 29 TOTAL tablet preferably at night because dizziness and drowsiness are common during the first week. Do not stop it suddenly, as the pregabalin and nortriptyline components may require gradual tapering to prevent withdrawal symptoms or rebound pain. Drink enough water and include fiber in your diet to reduce dry mouth and constipation.
