Deprel Tablets 50Mg (1 Strip = 10 Tablets)

Deprel Tablets Specification

Requires Prescription: Yes

Generics: Trazodone HCl

Used For: Depression

How it works: Trazodone HCl inhibits serotonin uptake in brain synaptosomes and rat platelets at higher concentrations, and it also affects noradrenaline uptake in vitro. It exhibits antiserotonin-adrenergic blocking and analgesic effects. Compared to tricyclic antidepressants, trazodone shows less anticholinergic activity in animal studies and therapeutic trials with depressed patients confirm this.
