Pnsam Tablet SR

Introduction

Pnsam SR is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredients Pregabalin, Nortriptyline, Methylcobalamin, and Vitamin D3. It is available in tablet form and is used to treat certain conditions related to the nervous system.

Uses

Pnsam SR is primarily prescribed for the treatment of neuropathic pain, which is caused by damage or dysfunction of the nerves. It may also be used to manage certain types of depression and to supplement vitamin D3 levels in the body.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Pnsam SR may vary depending on the specific condition being treated and the individual patient. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Generally, the usual recommended dose for adults is one tablet per day, taken orally, with or without food. Do not crush or chew the tablet; swallow it whole with water.

Mechanism of Action

Pnsam SR works by affecting certain chemicals in the brain and nervous system. Pregabalin helps to reduce the release of certain neurotransmitters involved in pain signaling, thereby reducing neuropathic pain. Nortriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant that increases the levels of certain chemicals in the brain, helping to alleviate depression. Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that plays a role in nerve function and regeneration. Vitamin D3 is important for maintaining healthy bones and immune function.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, or swelling of the face, seek medical attention immediately.

Drug Interactions

Pnsam SR may interact with certain medications, including other antidepressants, sedatives, and medications that affect blood clotting. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, to avoid potential interactions.
