It is a combination of two medicines: Amitriptyline and methylcobalamin. Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant that increases the levels of chemical messengers (serotonin and noradrenaline) that stop the movement of pain signals in the brain. Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B that helps in the production of myelin, a substance that protects nerve fibers and rejuvenates damaged nerve cells. Together, they relieve neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).
Neuropathic pain is caused by malfunctioning or damaged nerve fibers in the nervous system, affecting peripheral nerves, spinal cord, and brain. Damaged nerve fibers send incorrect signals to pain centers, causing central sensitization.
