Overview
Apo-Amitriptyline 10mg Tablet (Not For Sale) contains amitriptyline 10mg, a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). At this low dose it is most often prescribed off-label for chronic nerve pain (neuropathic pain), migraine prevention, or sleep disturbance, rather than for depression, which typically requires higher doses.
Amitriptyline works by increasing the levels of serotonin and noradrenaline in the brain and spinal cord, chemicals involved in mood regulation and the body’s own pain-signal control system, which can help reduce chronic pain perception and improve mood and sleep.
How it Works
Amitriptyline inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and noradrenaline at nerve endings, increasing their availability in the central nervous system. It also has antihistamine and anticholinergic properties, which contribute to its sedative effect and some of its side effects.
Directions for Use
Take Apo-Amitriptyline 10mg Tablet (Not For Sale) exactly as prescribed, usually once daily in the evening or at bedtime, as it can cause drowsiness. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without your doctor’s advice, as it may need to be tapered off gradually.
Dosage
The dose of Apo-Amitriptyline 10mg Tablet (Not For Sale) depends on the condition being treated – for chronic pain or sleep, doses are usually low (often 10-25mg at night), while doses for depression are typically higher and increased gradually.
