Product Introduction:
Tryptomer SR 50 mg Tablet is a sustained-release formulation of Amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant. It is primarily used to treat neuropathic pain, depression, anxiety disorders, and chronic pain conditions. This medication works by adjusting the levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain, which helps to stabilize mood and alleviate pain.
