ACTION
RHOTRIMINE (trimipramine) is a tricyclic antidepressant with sedative
properties. It has also
anticholinergic properties and potentiates the sympathetic responses,
presumably by blocking the
re-uptake of norepinephrine which has been released by the presynaptic
neurones. Trimipramine has
a quinidine-like effect on the heart and produces E.K.G and E.E.G.
changes similar to those of other
tricyclic antidepressants.
INDICATIONS
RHOTRIMINE (trimipramine) is indicated in the drug treatment of
depressive illness. It is
particularly effective in endogenous depression. It may also be useful
in some patients with neurotic
depression.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
RHOTRIMINE (trimipramine) is contraindicated in cases of known
hypersensitivity to the drug. The
possibility of cross-sensitivity with other dibenzazepine compounds
should also be kept in mind.
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors should not be administered concomitantly
with RHOTRIMINE and
a two-week delay is recommended before using the drug in patients who
have received an MAO
inhibitor. Treatment with RHOTRIMINE should be started with small
doses and increased
progressively, depending on tolerance and response.
Because of its anticholinergic properties, RHOTRIMINE is
contraindicated in patients with narrow
angle glaucoma and prostatic hypertrophy.
It is also contraindicated during the acute recovery phase following
myocardial infarction and in the
presence of acute congestive heart failure.
WARNINGS
Tricyclic antidepressants, particularly in high doses, have been
reported to produce arrhythmias,
sinus tachycardia, and prolongation of conduction time. A few
instances of unexpected death have
been reported in patients with cardiovascular disorders. Myocardial
infarction and stroke have also
been reported wi
