STARGAB NT 100/10

STARGAB NT 100/10 is a fixed-dose combination tablet. Each tablet contains:

• Gabapentin 100 mg, an anticonvulsant (gabapentinoid) that calms overactive nerve signalling.
• Nortriptyline 10 mg, a tricyclic antidepressant that raises the activity of the pain-modulating chemicals norepinephrine and serotonin.

Nerve pain differs from ordinary pain. It is not caused by tissue injury, but by damaged or overexcited nerves sending false pain signals to the brain. Ordinary painkillers often give limited relief for it. For this reason, clinical guidelines for neuropathic pain place both drug classes among the recognised treatment options.

How the gabapentin and nortriptyline combination works

• Gabapentin binds to the α2δ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels on nerve cells. This reduces the release of excitatory neurotransmitters, so damaged nerves send fewer pain signals.
• Nortriptyline blocks the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin in the spinal pain-control pathways. This strengthens the body's own "pain-dampening" system.

The two work through different mechanisms. A doctor may therefore choose them together when one drug alone has not controlled the symptoms adequately.

Why Is STARGAB NT 100/10 Important?

Persistent nerve pain affects sleep, mood, work and daily activity. Many people with diabetes, shingles, nerve compression or chronic back-related nerve irritation live with burning or electric-shock-type pain for months.

STARGAB NT 100/10 is important because:

1. It targets the nerve-pain pathway rather than only masking pain.
2. It combines two mechanisms in a single tablet, which can reduce the number of tablets a patient takes.
3. The 100/10 strength is a low starting strength. Doctors often prefer this for elderly patients or those who are new to these medicines, then adjust according to response and tolerability.
4. It may help sleep disturbed by pain. Both ingredients can cause drowsiness, which is why it is commonly advised at bedtime. This is a physician decision.

Untreated neuropathic pain can contribute to anxiety, low mood and poor glycaemic self-care. Seeing a doctor early matters.

Key Benefits 

• Relief from burning, tingling and shooting nerve pain. Both ingredients are used in neuropathic pain management.
• Dual-action approach. It works on both nerve excitability and the brain's pain-modulation pathways.
• Convenience. One combination tablet may be simpler than taking two separate medicines, which can support adherence.
• Possible improvement in pain-related sleep disturbance. Doctors may time the dose accordingly.
• Flexible low-dose strength. The 100/10 strength allows careful, gradual treatment under supervision.
• Quality manufacturing. It is produced under WHO-GMP and ISO 9001 certified standards.

Precautions: Read Before You Take It

Tell your doctor before starting STARGAB NT 100/10 if you have:

• Kidney problems. Gabapentin is cleared by the kidneys and the dose may need adjustment.
• Heart disease, arrhythmia or a recent heart attack. Nortriptyline can affect heart rhythm.
• Glaucoma (especially narrow-angle) or difficulty passing urine. Nortriptyline has anticholinergic effects.
• Epilepsy or a seizure history. Dose changes or sudden stopping can affect seizure control.
• Bipolar disorder, depression or any history of suicidal thoughts.
• Liver disease, thyroid disorders or breathing problems (such as COPD).
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding. Use only if the doctor judges the benefit outweighs the risk.
