Introduction

Accelovance-NT SR is a prescription medication that combines the active ingredients Pregabalin, Nortriptyline, and Methylcobalamin. It is primarily used for the treatment of certain types of nerve pain and mood disorders.

Uses

Accelovance-NT SR is prescribed to manage various conditions, including neuropathic pain, which is pain caused by damaged nerves. It is also used in the treatment of certain mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety.

Mechanism of Action

Accelovance-NT SR works through a combination of its active ingredients. Pregabalin is believed to work by reducing the release of certain neurotransmitters involved in pain signaling, thereby decreasing nerve pain. Nortriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant that helps regulate the balance of certain chemicals in the brain, which can improve mood and alleviate pain. Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that plays a role in the regeneration and maintenance of nerve cells.
