Medical Benefits of Amitriptyline Tablets

Amitriptyline is an antidepressant used in the treatment of depression, and neuropathic pain and prevents chronic headaches and migraine. The medicine prevents the reuptake and hence the inactivation of neurotransmitters noradrenaline and serotonin, which are present at the nerve terminals in our brain. Reuptake prevention of these monoamine neurotransmitters potentiates their action in the brain. This appears to be associated with antidepressant activity and helps in regulating the mood. It also stops the transmission of pain signals from nerves to the brain thereby relieving neuropathic pain due to damaged nerves.
