Ketrip 25 MG Description

Ketrip is a prescription medication. It contains Amitriptyline. This medication is a tricyclic antidepressant. It is used to treat depression and manage neuropathic pain (pain that occurs due to dama

ge to nerves) and migraine in varying doses. Depression is associated with low mood, difficulty performing daily activities, difficulty sleeping, hopelessness, and negative feelings. These changes may be associated with altered levels of many chemical messengers in the brain, such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Treatment may last for several months and requires regular follow-up. The medication should be taken as per the recommendations of a trained medical professional. It is not advisable to start or stop the tablet suddenly. Withdrawal symptoms may occur on abrupt discontinuation. It is recommended to take the pill at the same time daily for maximum efficacy.
