SALT INFORMATION FOR Triptorain-PR
Amitriptyline(10mg)
Uses
How it works
Amitriptyline contains Amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant. It has anticholinergic and sedative properties. It prevents the reuptake, and hence the inactivation of neurotransmitters called noradrenaline and serotonin, that are present at the nerve terminals in our brain. Reuptake prevention of these monoamine neurotransmitters potentiate their action in the brain. This appears to be associated with the antidepressant activity and helps in regulating the mood. It also stops the transmission of pain signals from nerves to the brain thereby relieving neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).

Propranolol(40mg)
Uses
Propranolol is used in the treatment of Angina (heart-related chest pain), Arrhythmia, heart attack, Hypertension (high blood pressure), Anxiety, Tremors, Prevention of migraine and Pheochromocytoma.
How it works
Propranolol contains Propranolol, a beta blocker. It works by affecting the body’s response to nerve impulses, especially in the heart. It slows down your heart rate and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body. This prevents arrhythmia, stabilizes blood pressure and prevents a heart attack. It also widens the blood vessels in the body for better blood flow, thereby preventing angina as well as migraine. The exact mechanism by which it prevents tremors is not known, but experts believe that Propranolol helps block the nerve impulses to the muscles responsible for tremors. Propranolol helps block the effects of the chemical messengers namely, adrenaline and noradrenaline, that are produced by the brain and are responsible for increasing your heart rate which makes you feel anxious. This way it helps with anxiety. While treating pheochromocytoma, Propranolol may be given to block the action of high-adrenaline hormones, to lower the risk of developing dangerously high blood pressure during surgery for removing the tumor.
Common side effects
Sleep disturbance, Fatigue, Low blood platelets, Psychosis, Mood changes, Hallucination, Myasthenia gravis, Slow heart rate, Nightmares, Cold extremities, Paresthesia (tingling or pricking sensation), Hair loss, Purpura

Frequently asked questions FOR Triptorain-PR
Amitriptyline
Q. What other lifestyle changes should I make to get maximum benefit of Amitriptyline?
Antidepressants, including Amitriptyline, are just one of several approaches to treat depression. Certain lifestyle changes can help you get maximum benefit of Amitriptyline and help you recover fast. Keeping active and eating a healthy diet can make a significant difference to how quickly you recover from depression. Think positively and try to discuss your thoughts with others to reduce stress. Practice yoga or take up a hobby. Ensure that you have a sound sleep to calm your mind. Stay away from smoking or alcohol consumption as these will only worsen your depression. Take your medicines as prescribed even if you start feeling better.
Q. I have been prescribed Amitriptyline for pain. When will I start feeling better?
You may start feeling better after 2 weeks of starting Amitriptyline. However, it may take 4-6 weeks to see the full benefits of the medicine.
Q. Can I stop taking Amitriptyline when my pain is relieved?
No, do not stop taking Amitriptyline even if the pain is relieved. You should use Amitriptyline as advised by the doctor.

Consult your doctor for the duration of the treatment since the dose of Amitriptyline needs to be reduced gradually.
Propranolol
Q. My doctor has prescribed Propranolol even though my blood pressure is within normal limits. Is it because of the chest pain that I complained of?
Yes, it is possible that your doctor prescribed Propranolol for chest pain (angina). Propranolol is a beta-blocker that is used to lower high blood pressure, prevent angina, treat or prevent heart attacks or reduce your risk of heart problems following a heart attack. Propranolol is also used to treat irregularities in the heartbeat, including those caused by anxiety, essential tremor (shaking of the head, chin and hands). It also prevents migraine headaches, overactive thyroid (thyrotoxicosis and hyperthyroidism), and bleeding in the food pipe caused by high blood pressure.
Q. When can I expect relief in my symptoms after starting Propranolol for high blood pressure?
Propranolol usually starts working within a few hours of taking it. However, it may take up to a week to see the full benefits of the symptoms of high blood pressure or heart conditions. You may not notice any difference, but that does not mean it is not working. However, keep taking this medicine as prescribed by your doctor because you will still be getting its full benefits.
Q. Can Propranolol be used in asthmatics?
No, Propranolol cannot be used in asthmatics. This is because using Propranolol in asthma patients can cause breathing problems, which may trigger an asthma attack. Always inform your doctor if you have or ever had asthma or any episodes of difficulty breathing, before starting treatment with Propranolol.
