Trazaril 25mg Tab (Trazodone) is primarily a serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor (SARI). It works by blocking serotonin receptors (primarily 5-HT2A) and inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin. This complex mechanism contributes to its antidepressant and sedative effects. The exact mechanism by which it improves sleep is not fully understood but is likely related to its serotonin modulation and sedative properties.
