Description

Tryptanol 25mg is a mental health medicine manufactured by OBS Pharmaceuticals, formulated with Amitriptyline Hydrochloride as its active ingredient. It belongs to the tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) class of medicines, used for treating depression and certain other mood and pain-related conditions. This pack contains 100 tablets, each carrying a 25mg dose. Tryptanol works by adjusting the balance of natural chemicals in the brain that regulate mood and pain perception, helping improve overall well-being, relieve anxiety and tension, support better sleep, and increase energy levels in individuals experiencing depression.

Ingredients

Each Tryptanol tablet contains Amitriptyline Hydrochloride at a strength of 25mg. Amitriptyline works by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin, two key neurotransmitters involved in mood regulation and pain perception. By inhibiting their reuptake, the medicine increases the levels of these neurotransmitters in the spaces between nerve cells, enhancing their effects and supporting improved mood and emotional stability. In addition to its antidepressant action, amitriptyline also has anticholinergic properties. The tablet also contains standard inactive excipients that support its formulation and stability.

Dosage Form

Tryptanol is available as an oral tablet, supplied in a pack of 100 tablets. It is generally taken once daily, preferably at bedtime, to help reduce the risk of daytime drowsiness, though dosing frequency may vary based on the condition being treated.

Uses

Tryptanol is primarily used to treat depression, helping improve mood, relieve anxiety and tension, and support better sleep patterns. It is also used to manage certain types of chronic nerve pain, including diabetic neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia, and may be used for migraine prevention. Additionally, it may be prescribed for enuresis, or difficulty controlling urination, in children, based on a doctor’s specific assessment of the condition being treated.

How to Use

Tryptanol tablets should be taken by mouth exactly as directed by a physician, generally once to four times daily depending on the condition, and often preferably at bedtime to minimize daytime drowsiness. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and should not be crushed or chewed, as this may cause irritation in the mouth. The dosage should never be increased beyond what has been prescribed, and this medicine should not be stopped abruptly without medical guidance, as doing so may lead to withdrawal symptoms.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Tryptanol may include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and blurred vision, related to its anticholinergic properties. Some patients may also experience tremor, headache, or changes in taste. Cardiovascular effects such as low blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, or irregular heart rhythm have also been reported. Because this medicine can cause sedation, driving or operating machinery should be avoided until its effects are known, and alcohol should be avoided during treatment. Any changes in mood or behavior should be monitored closely and reported to a doctor.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Women who are pregnant should consult their doctor before taking Tryptanol, as its use during pregnancy requires careful medical evaluation of potential risks and benefits. This medicine is also generally not recommended during breastfeeding, so nursing mothers should seek medical advice before use.

Storage Instructions

Store Tryptanol tablets at a temperature between 15°C and 30°C, in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat, light, and moisture. Ensure the container remains tightly closed to prevent contamination, and avoid storing the product in humid or warm areas such as bathrooms or kitchens. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and do not use tablets beyond their printed expiry date.
