Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Tryptinol 10 mg tablets act on five different neurotransmitters (chemical substances in the brain that help in signalling) to regulate mood, including serotonin, norepinephrine, histamine, and two types of transmitters that affect parasympathetic activity. Tryptinol prevents the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin, increasing their concentration at the nerve endings. Serotonin gives a sense of satisfaction, while norepinephrine increases the energy levels in the body. This medicine decreases the concentration of histamine, leading to drowsiness or sedation. It also reduces the concentration of acetylcholine at the nerve endings leading to dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation.
