Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Amitriptyline in Amitop tablets acts on the nervous system to produce antidepressant and analgesic effects. In the brain, Amitriptyline increases neurotransmitters (chemicals regulating the nervous system functions), like noradrenaline and serotonin. The increased levels of noradrenaline and serotonin hormones in the brain cause a reduction in depression. Amitriptyline also breaks the pain circuit. It blocks the exchange of sodium and potassium across nerve cells and prevents forward pain signals to the brain. Amitriptyline also has other neurological actions, like causing relaxation and/or sleep and a reduction in acetylcholine (another chemical neurotransmitter). These actions of Amitriptyline may cause side effects in many people.
