Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Amilift Tablet contains Amitriptyline-10mg as an active ingredient. Amitriptyline is an antidepressant. It belongs to the Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) class of medicine.
It works by increasing the levels of certain chemical messengers (serotonin and noradrenaline) in the brain by preventing the re-uptake of both serotonin as well as noradrenaline. This helps in regulating mood and also treats depression. It also blocks the pain signals from the brain, which helps relieve migraine headaches and neuropathic pain. It has sedative and anticholinergic effects.
