terest, hopelessness, etc. The active ingredients in Chloramit H tablets are Amitriptyline and Chlordiazepoxide. Amitriptyline is an antidepressant that works by increasing the levels of chemical messengers in the brain, which helps regulate mood and treats depression. Chlordiazepoxide works by increasing the inhibitory effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and produces sedating and calming effects. Directions for use of Chloramit H tablets should be strictly followed. Many side effects are associated with this medicine, so the dosage must be carefully monitored. Complete the full course of treatment, and do not suddenly stop taking this medicine before consulting your doctor, as it can cause your condition to worsen or lead to withdrawal-like symptoms.
