Description
Typlin Tablet contains an active ingredient called Amitriptyline, a class of TCA or tricyclic antidepressants. Amitriptyline specifically alters certain chemicals like serotonin and noradrenaline in
your brain and nerve cells that help in improving your mood, emotional state, sleeping better, reducing anxiety, and changing the way your body responds to pain. Amitriptyline increases the levels of these neurotransmitters (serotonin and noradrenaline) between the gap of two nerve cells known as the 'synaptic cleft', which helps alleviate your symptoms.
