Embramine

Typically contains the active ingredient amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant.

Treatment of major depressive disorder

Treatment of certain types of chronic pain (e.g., neuropathic pain)

Treatment of some anxiety disorders (offlabel use, requires doctor's consultation)

Amitriptyline, the active component in Mebryl Tab (Embramine), works by increasing the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. These neurotransmitters are involved in regulating mood, sleep, and pain perception. The exact mechanism by which it alleviates pain is not fully understood but is believed to be related to its effects on neurotransmission in the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Store Embramine at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Dispose of unused medication properly according to your pharmacist's or local regulations.

Dosage should be determined by a healthcare professional and adjusted based on individual needs and response.

Medication should be taken as prescribed, typically once daily at bedtime to minimize daytime drowsiness.
