Description

Amitriptyline HCl 25 mg Tab 100 is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) used for the treatment of major depressive disorder and certain off-label conditions. Each tablet contains 25 mg of amitriptyline hydrochloride, making it suitable for individualized dosing under medical supervision. The product is supplied in bottles containing 100 tablets, offering convenience for long-term therapy.

Amitriptyline works by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine in the central nervous system. This action increases the levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain, which helps improve mood and alleviate depressive symptoms. Amitriptyline exhibits anticholinergic and sedative properties, which can contribute to its effectiveness in managing conditions such as neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and migraines.

The tablets are typically taken orally, once daily at bedtime, to minimize the sedative effects during the day. Adherence to prescribed dosages is essential to prevent side effects such as dry mouth, drowsiness, weight gain, or, in rare cases, cardiac arrhythmias. Dose adjustments may be required for elderly patients or those with underlying medical conditions.
