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.

Also, it inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine and raises its concentration in the synaptic cleft.
