How Amitone Tablet Works
Amitone 10mg Tablet contains Amitriptyline, which is a tricyclic antidepressant. It works by inhibiting the reuptake of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and noradrenaline in the brain, making them more available and helping to regulate mood. This increase in neurotransmitter activity is linked to its antidepressant effects. Additionally, Amitone helps manage neuropathic pain by blocking the transmission of pain signals from damaged nerves to the brain.
