Medicine Description normolepsy 75 mg
NORMOLEPSY 75 mg Capsule is a medication that acts primarily by modulating the release of neurotransmitters. It binds to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system. This binding inhibits excitatory neurotransmitter release, thereby reducing neuronal excitability. As a result, it alleviates neuropathic pain and helps in seizure control by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain.
