Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine are substances produced naturally in our system. These substances play a vital role in our mood and behaviour. Any imbalance in these substances can create changes in our mood and behaviour. The amoxapine in Depilox 50 mg reduces the uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin. The amoxapine also blocks the response of dopamine receptors to dopamine. All this maintains a proper balance between norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine. This gives a feeling of well being to the patient. As some of amoxapine’s effects are similar to tranquillisers, Depilox 50 mg works better in patients who have agitation or anxiety along with depression.
