More on Amitriptyline Definition: Tricyclic antidepressant with anticholinergic and sedative properties. It appears to prevent the re-uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin at nerve terminals, thus potentiating the action of these neurotransmitters. Amitriptyline also appears to antagonize cholinergic and alpha-1 adrenergic responses to bioactive amines.      Other names beta, Amitriptylin; Rh+¦ne Poulenc Rorer Brand of Amitriptyline Hydroc; RPh, Amitriptylin; Desitin, Amitriptylin; ApoAmitriptyline; Apo Amitriptyline; Amitriptylinneuraxpharm; Amitriptylin neuraxpharm; neuraxpharm Brand of Amitriptyline Hydrochloride; Zeneca Brand of Amitriptyline Hydrochloride; Tryptizol; Tryptine; Tryptanol; Triptafen; Syneudon; Sarotex; Saroten; Rodleben Brand of Amitriptyline Hydrochloride; Roche Brand of Amitriptyline Hydrochloride; Rh+¦ne-Poulenc Rorer Brand of Amitriptyline Hydroc Drugs: ELAVILENDEP; AMITRIPTYLINE HYDROCHLORIDE; AMITID; AMITRIL;
