Amitone 75 10 tab

Amitone 75 contains a higher strength of amitriptyline used mainly for moderate to severe depression and certain long-standing pain conditions. The dose is usually reached gradually under your doctor's supervision.

• Treats moderate to severe depression
• Eases chronic nerve pain
• Helps prevent some migraines

Amitriptyline boosts levels of serotonin and noradrenaline in the brain, helping to lift mood. These chemical changes also alter how the nervous system handles pain signals, so persistent pain feels less intense.

Take as prescribed by your doctor, usually as a single evening dose because it causes drowsiness. Swallow whole with water and continue even if you feel better.

• Marked drowsiness
• Dry mouth and constipation
• Weight gain
• Dizziness, especially on standing

Tell your doctor about heart problems, glaucoma, an enlarged prostate, epilepsy, thyroid or liver issues. Do not stop suddenly; tapering is needed. Avoid alcohol and take care when driving.

Store below 25 degrees Celsius in a cool, dry place, away from light, and out of reach of children.
