Nortriptyline; Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Pregnancy

Nortriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant agent used for short-term treatment of various forms of depression. Nortriptyline blocks the norepinephrine presynaptic receptors, thereby blocking the reuptake of this neurotransmitter and raising the concentration in the synaptic cleft in the CNS. Nortriptyline also binds to alpha-adrenergic, histaminergic and Read More …

Amitriptyline; Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Pregnancy

Amitriptyline is a derivative of dibenzocycloheptadiene and a tricyclic antidepressant. Amitriptyline inhibits the re-uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin by the presynaptic neuronal membrane in the central nervous system (CNS), thereby increasing the synaptic concentration of norepinephrine and serotonin. Due to constant stimulation to these receptors, amitriptyline may produce a downregulation of adrenergic and serotonin receptors, which Read More …

Oxazepam; Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interactions

Oxazepam is a synthetic benzodiazepine derivative with anxiolytic and sedative-hypnotic properties. Although the mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated, oxazepam appears to enhance gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor affinity for GABA, thereby prolonging synaptic actions of GABA. Oxazepam is an orally available benzodiazepine used in the therapy of anxiety and acute Read More …

Lorazepam; Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interactions

Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine with anxiolytic, anti-anxiety, anticonvulsant, anti-emetic and sedative properties. Lorazepam enhances the effect of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid on the GABA receptors by binding to a site that is distinct from the GABA binding site in the central nervous system. This leads to an increase in chloride channel opening Read More …

Fluvoxamine; Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interactions

Fluvoxamine is a 2-aminoethyl oxime ether of aralkyl ketones, with an antidepressant, anti-obsessive-compulsive, and anxiolytic properties. Fluvoxamine, chemically unrelated to other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, selectively blocks serotonin reuptake by inhibiting the serotonin reuptake pump at the presynaptic neuronal membrane. Read More …

Sertraline; Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Pregnancy

Sertraline is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used in the therapy of depression, anxiety disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Sertraline therapy can be associated with transient asymptomatic elevations in serum aminotransferase levels and has been linked to rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver Read More …

Peroxetine; Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interactions

Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used in the therapy of depression, anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Paroxetine therapy can be associated with transient asymptomatic elevations in serum aminotransferase levels and has been linked to rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury. Read More …

Multivitamin; Types, Daily Requirement Human Body

Multivitamin is a preparation intended to serve as a dietary supplement – with vitamins, dietary minerals, and other nutritional elements. Such preparations are available in the form of tablets, capsules, pastilles, powders, liquids, or injectable formulations. In healthy people, most scientific evidence indicates that multivitamin supplements Read More …

Citalopram; Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interactions, Pregnancy

Citalopram is a bicyclic naphthalene derivative and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), with antidepressant and anxiolytic activities. Citalopramselectively inhibits the neuronal reuptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT) in presynaptic cells in the central nervous system, thereby increasing levels of 5-HT within the synaptic cleft and enhancing the actions Read More …
