Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Amitar Plus tablet contains amitriptyline and chlordiazepoxide as its active ingredients. Amitriptyline comes under the group of medications called tricyclic antidepressants. It is considered a mixed reuptake inhibitor. It inhibits the reuptake of noradrenaline and serotonin in the brain. Noradrenaline acts as both hormone and neurotransmitter in the brain. It regulates alertness, focus, restlessness, and anxiety. On the other hand, serotonin carries messages between nerve cells and is responsible for regulating mood and anxiety. Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine. It increases a chemical neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA decreases abnormal and excessive electrical activity in the brain. This mechanism of action can improve one’s mood and behaviour.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Amitar Plus tablets can cause adverse reactions when taken with the following medicines:
  • Interaction with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) like moclobemide and selegiline can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome.
  • Interaction with opioids like morphine and hydrocodone can increase the risk of respiratory problems and sedation because of additive central nervous system (CNS) depressant effects.
  • Interaction with class Ia and III antiarrhythmics like quinidine and antipsychotics like pimozide can increase the risk of QTc prolongation or ventricular arrhythmias.
