About EMOTRIP 25MG TABLET

EMOTRIP 25MG TABLET is used to treat moderate to severe depression associated with moderate to severe anxiety. Depression is a mood disorder characterised by sadness, unhappiness, anger, hopelessness or loss. Anxiety is a mental health disorder characterised by feelings of anxiety, worry or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one’s daily activities. Anxiety and depression can occur at the same time.

EMOTRIP 25MG TABLET is a combination of two drugs: Amitriptyline (tricyclic anti-depressant) and Chlordiazepoxide (benzodiazepine anxiolytic). Amitriptyline works by affecting certain chemical messengers in the brain that communicate between brain cells, thereby regulating mood and treating depression. Chlordiazepoxide works by increasing the action of a chemical messenger called GABA. This helps suppress the excessive and abnormal activity of the nerve cells in the brain. 

You are advised to take EMOTRIP 25MG TABLET only for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision and bloating. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Consult your doctor immediately if you have suicidal thoughts, such as killing or harming yourself. Do not take EMOTRIP 25MG TABLET if you are pregnant, as it may cause birth defects. Consult your doctor before taking EMOTRIP 25MG TABLET if you are breastfeeding. Avoid driving or operating machinery as EMOTRIP 25MG TABLET causes sleepiness and dizziness and might impair thinking and motor skills. Avoid consuming alcohol along with EMOTRIP 25MG TABLET as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.
