Medical Description
Trazalon is a prescription medication. It is used in the management of all symptoms of depression, including anxiety. The active ingredient in Trazalon is Trazodone 50 mg.
Depression is a condition characterised by persistent low mood. Persons affected by depression present with complaints such as feeling low, decreased motivation, feelings of hopelessness and dread, and loss of interest in daily activities that can be debilitating. Multiple brain pathways and chemical messengers are indicated in depression, chiefly serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. The mode of action of Trazalon and other antidepressant medications is by targeting these pathways and neurotransmitters to help relieve the symptoms of depression.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Trazalon tablets primarily work by targeting the brain pathways that involve the neurotransmitter serotonin. This chemical messenger promotes mood and personality as well as wakefulness. Trazadone is a Serotonin Antagonist and Reuptake Inhibitor (SARI), and by affecting serotonin in the brain, it relieves the symptoms of depression. In addition, it also has anti-anxiety and sleep-inducing effects.
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- This medicine should not be used concomitantly or within two weeks of using any monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) like Selegiline, Rasagiline, etc. It may cause Serotonin Syndrome, which is potentially life-threatening.
- Persons taking other medications that increase serotonin levels should be informed about the potential risks of taking Trazalon tablets concomitantly.
- Trazalon tablets should not be mixed with medicines that slow down clotting time in the body by decreasing platelet activity, such as aspirin, NSAIDs, heparin, warfarin, and other anti-coagulants. This may lead to bruising, nose bleeds, or internal bleeding.
- Trazalon tablets should not be used with medications that increase or decrease the effect of an enzyme that metabolises trazodone.
- Inform your doctor regarding your current medications at the time of prescription of Trazalon so that they can check for potential medicine interactions.
Interactions with food items
- It is recommended to take this medication after a light meal.
