Effects - How it works in the body
Triavil medicine contains the active ingredient Amitriptyline and Perphenazine, which belongs to the family of medicine that called a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). Triavil affects levels of specific brain chemicals as serotonin, norepinephrine, and acetylcholine; that are thought to be linked to mood, emotions and mental state. Triavil works by increasing the amounts of certain natural substances in the central nervous system (CNS) to elevate the mood of people with depression in the brain. When depression occurs, there may be a decreased amount of the chemicals noradrenaline and serotonin released from nerve cells in the brain. When these chemicals are released from nerve cells they act to lighten mood. When they are reabsorbed into the nerve cells, they no longer have an effect on mood. Triavil works through preventing this re-absorption of noradrenaline and serotonin back into the nerve cells. This helps relieve depression. Triavil also blocks receptors in other areas of the body resulting in side effects such as urinary retention. Therefore, Triavil may also be used in the treatment of bed-wetting (nocturnal enuresis).
