Coanalgesics, also known as adjuvant analgesics, are medications that aren't primarily designed to control pain but can be used alongside primary analgesics to enhance pain relief. Nortriptyline (A) and Amitriptyline (B) are tricyclic antidepressants that can help manage neuropathic pain. Gabapentin (E) is an anticonvulsant that is also used to treat neuropathic pain. These medications can be used in various pain management strategies, including for chronic pain conditions, where they can enhance the effects of primary analgesics.
