Medical Description

Relidep Plus Tab is a prescription medicine that is mainly used for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe depression. Depression is a type of mood disorder. It is also known as clinical depression, characterised by a feeling of sadness, mood swings, loss of interest, feelings of hopelessness and loneliness, etc. Relidep Plus Tab is a combination medicine that contains Amitriptyline and Chlordiazepoxide as their active ingredient. Amitriptyline is an antidepressant that works by increasing the levels of chemical messengers in the brain. This helps in regulating mood and also treats depression. Chlordiazepoxide produces sedating and calming effects in users by acting on the brain to increase the inhibitory effects of a neurotransmitter called GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). Relidep Plus Tab should be taken in dosage and duration as advised by your doctor. There are also many side effects associated with this medicine, so it is advised to take it after the doctor’s consultation, and dosage must be carefully monitored.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Relidep Plus Tab is a combination medicine that contains Amitriptyline(12.5mg) and Chlordiazepoxide(5mg) as their active ingredient. Amitriptyline is an antidepressant. It belongs to the class of medicine called Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). It works by increasing the levels of certain chemical messengers in the brain by preventing the reuptake of both serotonin as well as noradrenaline. This helps in regulating mood and also treats depression. Chlordiazepoxide (a benzodiazepine) acts as a GABA-A receptor agonist. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, and it stands for Gamma Amino Butyric Acid. By binding to the GABA-A receptor, it enhances the inhibitory effects of GABA, resulting in sedative, anti-anxiety, and muscle relaxant properties.
