✔️ How does Tryptin 10 work?

Tryptin 10 is a tricyclic antidepressant. It works by increasing the levels of chemical messengers in the brain that help in regulating mood and treat depression. It also stops the transmission of pain signals from nerves to the brain thereby relieving neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).

✔️ Indications of Tryptin 10mg

Tryptin 10mg is a member of the tricyclic antidepressant class of drugs. Adults with depression, neuropathic pain, chronic tension-type headaches, and migraines can benefit from the usage of Tryptin 10mg. Children aged 6 and older who have nighttime bedwetting can also be treated with Tryptin 10mg. Tryptin 10mg cure depression by influencing the brain's chemical messengers (serotonin and/or norepinephrine), which communicate between brain cells. Tryptin 10mg relieves neuropathic pain by preventing the transmission of pain impulses.

✔️ Pharmacology

Amitriptyline is thought to increase the concentration of transmitter amines at the synaptic clefts of the brain by inhibiting the membrane pump mechanism that is responsible for their reuptake because the exact mechanism of action of this drug is not fully understood. These amines have a crucial role in mood regulation. One of the first theories of depression, the monoamine hypothesis, contends that serotonin (5-HT) and/or norepinephrine (NE) neurotransmission deficits in the brain cause depressive symptoms. This medication blocks these pathways, which may be how amitriptyline works to alleviate depression symptoms. It is uncertain if the drug's analgesic effects are a result of its mood-altering properties or a separate, less visible pharmacological activity (or a mix of both).

✔️ Dosage & Administration of Tryptin 10mg Tablet

• Nocturnal Enuresis: Child 7-10 years: 10-20 mg, 11-16 years: 25-50 mg at night; max. period of treatment (including gradual withdrawal) 3 months-full physical examination before the further course.

✔️ Interaction

TCA enhances the sedative effect of alcohol and opioid analgesics. When TCA is used with Moxifloxacin or Terfenadine, it increases the risk of ventricular arrhythmias. Disulfiram and Cimetidine inhibit the metabolism of Amitriptyline. When TCA is used with diuretics, it enhances the risk of postural hypotension.

✔️ Contraindications

Recent myocardial infarction, arrhythmias (particularly heart block), manic phase, severe liver disease.

✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation

Not recommended in pregnancy and lactation

✔️ Precautions & Warnings

Cardiac disease (particularly with arrhythmias), history of epilepsy, hepatic impairment (avoid if severe), thyroid disease, history of mania, psychoses (may aggravate psychotic symptoms), angle-closure glaucoma, history of urinary retention, concurrent electroconvulsive therapy.

✔️ Storage Conditions

Store in a cool and dry place, below 30°C. Protect from light and moisture.
