Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Ketriplin cream has Amitriptyline and ketamine as its main ingredients. Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant medicine. It works by blocking the reuptake of chemical substances like noradrenaline and serotonin, neurotransmitters present at the end of the nerve cells in the brain. This makes the effects of these substances last longer. Thus, Ketriplin cream helps in regulating mood and aids in the management of depression. It relieves neuropathic pain by blocking the pain signals from the brain. Ketamine is an anaesthetic medication. It interacts with various receptors such as N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, opioid receptors, muscarinic receptors, etc. Unlike other general anaesthetic medications, ketamine does not interfere with GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptors. All this results in profound anaesthetic and hypnotic (a trance-like state in which you have heightened focus and concentration) effects

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Ketriplin cream can be used without any systemic side effects. You can combine it with other treatment options as there are no interactions reported with any other medicines. Please seek medical advice.
