What is Aventyl (Nortriptyline)?

Aventyl (nortriptyline) is an antidepressant used in the treatment of clinical depression. It helps improve the mood by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and modulating the histaminergic receptors in the brain. Aventyl is a product of Eli Lilly Canada Inc., a subsidiary of the Indiana-based Eli Lilly and Company.

Active ingredients

Aventyl is formulated with nortriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant that contains a dibenzocycloheptene moiety. Being an active metabolite of amitriptyline, nortriptyline effectively inhibits norepinephrine reuptake in the synaptic cleft. This in turn increases the number of mood-regulating transmitters such as serotonin, resulting in an elevated mood. Nortriptyline also modulates the alpha-adrenergic, cholinergic and histaminergic receptors to exert its antidepressant effects.

How to store it

To prevent deterioration, store Aventyl capsules at room temperature (ideally between 15 and 30°C). Make sure that the bottle is closed securely. As with all medications, keep out of reach of children.

How and when to take this drug

Take Aventyl orally at about the same time every day for better results. This also helps to improve medication adherence.

Do not alter the dose of Nortriptyline without consulting the doctor. To reduce the risk of adverse effects, a lower dose is typically prescribed at the beginning of the treatment.

Strictly follow the dosing schedule, and do not stop taking Nortriptyline even if the symptoms do not improve immediately. The effects of the drug will gradually develop over a few weeks.

What if I overdose?

In case of overdose, seek medical attention immediately. Go to the nearest hospital or call a local Poison Control Center. If you take too much Aventyl, you may have difficulty breathing and feel drowsy or dizzy. Symptoms like muscle weakness and stiffness, seizures, fever, tachycardia, arrhythmia and vomiting may also occur. Seek medical help even if you do not experience these symptoms.

What if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if the next dose is impending, skip to missed dose and take the next dose like you normally would. This is to avoid overdose. If you have trouble remembering to take Aventyl, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
