About Zypentin-100Mg Tablet

Zypentin-100Mg Tablet is used to treat depression. Additionally, it is also used to treat neuropathic pain and bedwetting at night. Depression is a mental illness or disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life.

Zypentin-100Mg Tablet contains Nortriptyline, which works by affecting certain chemical messengers (serotonin, norepinephrine) in the brain. These messengers communicate with brain cells, thereby regulating mood and preventing depression. Besides this, Zypentin-100Mg Tablet also transmits pain signals. Thus, it provides relief from neuropathic pain.

Take Zypentin-100Mg Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as increased heart rate, flushing, drowsiness, weight gain, difficulty in urination, orthostatic hypotension (sudden lowering of blood pressure on standing), dryness in the mouth, tingling in the arms or legs, blurred vision (dilated pupils). 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.

To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Zypentin-100Mg Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Inform your doctor if you have suicidal ideation or behaviour symptoms, heart disease, seizure disorders, glaucoma, thyroid problems, or kidney and liver problems. Do not take Zypentin-100Mg Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed by the doctor. The safety and effectiveness in children less than 18 years of age have not been established, so Zypentin-100Mg Tablet should not be given to them. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Zypentin-100Mg Tablet as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness. Consult your doctor immediately if you have suicidal thoughts, such as killing or harming yourself. Rise slowly from sitting or lying position as Zypentin-100Mg Tablet causes orthostatic hypotension (sudden lowering in blood pressure leading to dizziness on standing). Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.
