THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Tricyclic Antidepressant
ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Trimipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant with sedative properties.
It also has anti-cholinergic
properties, and potentiates sympathetic responses, presumably by
blocking the re-uptake of
noradrenaline which has been released by the presynaptic neurones.
Trimipramine has a
quinidine-like effect on the heart and produces ECG and EEG changes
similar to those of other
tricyclic antidepressants.
A comparative bioavailability study was performed using healthy human
volunteers. The rate
and extent of absorption of trimipramine following a single 150 mg (2
x 75 mg capsules) oral
dose of TRIMIPRAMINE and SURMONTIL were measured and compared. The
results are
summarized as follows:
