Norfan-Pmt Tablet 10's is a combination of three drugs: Methylcobalamin (a form of vitamin B), Nortriptyline (antidepressant), and Pregabalin (anti-convulsant). Norfan-Pmt Tablet 10's is indicated for the management of neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, spinal cord injury, etc. Methylcobalamin aids in producing myelin, a substance that protects nerve fibres and regenerates damaged nerve cells.

Pregabalin reduces pain by interfering with pain messages travelling through the brain and down the spine. Together, Norfan-Pmt Tablet 10's helps to treat neuropathic pain.
