This medication is a combination of Pregabalin and Nortriptyline, thus work through a dual mechanism of action. Primarily, it behaves as a GABA analogue and binds to the voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. This causes a reduced release of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, substance P thus slowing down nerve signals. Secondarily, it blocks the serotonin reuptake at the neuronal membrane. Also, it inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine and raises its concentration in the synaptic cleft.

Whenever you take more than one medicine, or mix it with certain foods or beverages, you"re at risk of a drug interaction.
