Tripcobal Tablet 10's

Tripcobal Tablet belongs to a group of medications known as 'anticonvulsants' used to manage neuropathic pain due to damaged nerves. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or a malfunctioning nervous system. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, with a prickling, stabbing, tingling, or burning sensation. 

Tripcobal Tablet is a suspended-release tablet that combines two drugs: Mecobalamin (vitamin B12) and Amitriptyline (anticonvulsant). Mecobalamin (also known as methylcobalamin) is a form of Vitamin B12 required by the brain and nerves for producing red blood cells. Amitriptyline works by changing how nerves send messages to your brain. Together, Tripcobal Tablet helps to treat neuropathic pain (pain due to nerve damage).

In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, heartburn, dry mouth, dizziness, sleepiness, and uncoordinated body movements. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Tripcobal Tablet should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established.

Tripcobal Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Methylcobalamin and Amitriptyline. Methylcobalamin is used to restore vitamin B12 in the body to treat damaged nerve conditions due to diabetes or other traumatic situations. It also has a neuroprotective activity that helps the nerve cells to function properly and treat neuropathic pain. On the other side, Amitriptyline prevents neuropathic pain (pain due to damaged nerves), fibromyalgia (musculoskeletal pain), and epilepsy (fits). It works by calming the damaged or overactive nerves in your body that may cause pain or seizures, thereby decreasing the number of pain signals sent out by damaged nerves in the body. Overall it reduces the pain which has been damaged or irritated due to conditions like chronic conditions, diabetes, trauma or epilepsy. Together, Tripcobal Tablet helps to treat neuropathic pain.

Neuropathic pain: Neuropathic pain is caused due to damage to sensory nerves. It is caused by chronic progressive nerve disease or due to infection or injury. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, which is felt as a prickling, stabbing, tingling, or burning sensation. A feeling of numbness and loss of sensations is also common with neuropathic pain. Usually, the body sends the pain signals when there is an injury, but with neuropathic pain, the pain is not triggered by an injury; the body unpromptedly sends the pain signals. Symptoms include spontaneous, untriggered pain, unpleasant feeling, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, difficulty resting or sleeping and evoked pain (pain caused by events usually not painful).
