Amitone Syrup is a prescription medication. It contains Amitriptyline, which belongs to a group of medications called tricyclic antidepressants. Apart from its use in the management of major depressi
ve disorders, it is also commonly used in the management of neuropathic pain and migraine in varying doses. Each bottle of Amitone Syrup contains 200mL of product. Depression is a condition characterised by a pervasive low mood. Patients present with complaints like feeling low, decreased motivation, feelings of hopelessness and dread, and loss of interest in daily activities, which can be debilitating. Multiple brain pathways and chemical messengers are indicated in depression, chiefly serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. Antidepressant medications target these pathways and neurotransmitters to help relieve the symptoms of depression. The medication should be taken as recommended by the doctor. It should not be abruptly started or stopped, as it may cause a relapse of symptoms, withdrawal symptoms and worsening of an underlying condition. Taking medicine at the same time every day is advisable for maximum efficacy.
