Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Amit 10 mg Tablet is a tricyclic antidepressant that contains amitriptyline. It has sedative and anticholinergic effects. It stops neurotransmitters, noradrenaline and serotonin, from being absorbed, and hence, deactivates them at the nerve terminals of the brain. It also helps with neuropathic pain management by preventing pain impulses from reaching the brain.
