Terapeutiske indikationer:

For the relief of symptoms of depression. Endogenous depression is more likely to be alleviated than are other depressive states. Amitriptyline hydrochloride is contraindicated in patients who have shown prior hypersensitivity to it. It should not be given concomitantly with monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Hyperpyretic crises, severe convulsions, and deaths have occurred in patients receiving tricyclic antidepressant and monoamine oxidase inhibiting drugs simultaneously. When it is desired to replace a monoamine oxidase inhibitor with amitriptyline hydrochloride, a minimum of 14 days should be allowed to elapse after the former is discontinued. Amitriptyline hydrochloride should then be initiated cautiously with gradual increase in dosage until optimum response is achieved. Amitriptyline hydrochloride should not be given with cisapride due to the potential for increased QT interval and increased risk for arrhythmia. This drug is not recommended for use during the acute recovery phase following myocardial Infarc

Dispense in a tight, light-resistant container. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. METABOLISM Studies in man following oral administration of 14 C-labeled drug indicated that amitriptyline is rapidly absorbed and metabolized. Radioactivity of the plasma was practically negligible, although significant amounts of radioactivity appeared in the urine by 4 to 6 hours and one-half to one-third of the drug was excreted within 24 hours. Amitriptyline is metabolized by N-demethylation and bridge hydroxylation in man, rabbit, and rat. Virtually the entire dose is excreted as glucuronide or sulfate conjugate of metabolites, with little unchanged drug appearing in the urine. Other metabolic pathways may be involved.

depression and other serious mental illnesses , and suicidal thoughts
or actions
1. Antidepressant medicines may increase suicidal thoughts or actions
in some children, teenagers, and young
adults within the first few months of treatment.

important causes of
Suicidal thoughts and actions. Some people may have a particularly
high risk of having suicidal thoughts or
actions. These include people who have (or have a family history of)
bipolar illness (also called manic-
depressive illness) or suicidal thoughts or actions.
3. How can I watch for and try to prevent suicidal thoughts and
actions in myself or a family member?

mood, behaviors, thoughts, or
