Are you Looking to Buy Pamelor (Nortriptyline) from OnlineCanadianPharmacy.

Indications

• Nortriptyline is a medication prescribed for the treatment of depression.
• It falls under the category of drugs called tricyclic antidepressants.
• Nortriptyline functions by aiding in the restoration of the balance of certain natural substances in the brain.

Dosage and administration

• Before starting nortriptyline, read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
• Take this medication orally as directed by your doctor, usually 1 to 4 times daily. If using the liquid form, measure the dose carefully with a special measuring device/spoon. Do not use a household spoon as it may result in an incorrect dose.
• Dosage is determined based on your medical condition and response to treatment. To minimize the risk of side effects (like dry mouth, and dizziness), your doctor may initiate treatment with a low dose and gradually increase it. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
• Take this medication regularly to maximize its benefits. To help remember, take it at the same time(s) daily. Do not increase the dose or frequency of use beyond what is prescribed. Doing so won’t accelerate improvement and can heighten the risk of side effects.
• Continue taking nortriptyline even if you feel well. Do not discontinue without consulting your doctor, as certain conditions may worsen with sudden cessation. Abrupt discontinuation may result in symptoms such as mood swings, headaches, fatigue, and changes in sleep patterns. To minimize these symptoms, your doctor may taper your dose gradually. Seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist for more information. Report any new or worsening symptoms promptly.
• Nortriptyline may not produce immediate effects. Although some benefit may be observed within a week, it may take up to four weeks to feel the full effect.
• Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens, such as increased feelings of sadness or thoughts of suicide.

Side effects

• Common side effects of this medication may include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, weight gain, or difficulty urinating. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
• To reduce the risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, rise slowly from a sitting or lying position.
• To alleviate dry mouth, consider sucking on sugarless hard candy or ice chips, chewing sugarless gum, drinking water, or using a saliva substitute.
• To prevent constipation, incorporate dietary fibre, ensure adequate hydration, and engage in regular exercise. You may also need to take a laxative. Consult your pharmacist to determine which type of laxative is suitable for you.
• Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has determined that the benefits outweigh the risks of side effects. Many individuals using this medication do not experience serious side effects.
• Inform your doctor immediately if you experience any serious side effects, including persistent heartburn, tremors, mask-like facial expressions, muscle spasms, severe abdominal pain, decreased sexual ability or desire, or enlarged or painful breasts.
• This medication may increase serotonin levels and rarely lead to a serious condition called serotonin syndrome/toxicity. The risk is higher if you are also taking other medications that increase serotonin. Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all the medications you are taking. Seek medical assistance immediately if you develop symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, hallucinations, loss of coordination, severe dizziness, severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle twitching, unexplained fever, or unusual agitation/restlessness.
• Seek immediate medical help if you experience very serious side effects, including severe dizziness, fast or irregular heartbeat, fainting, seizures, eye pain, swelling, redness, widened pupils, and vision changes (such as seeing rainbows around lights at night).
• While very rare, a serious allergic reaction to this drug can occur. Seek immediate medical help if you notice symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including rash, itching, swelling (especially of the face, tongue, or throat), severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing.
• This list does not cover all possible side effects. If you observe any other effects not mentioned here, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

• Nortriptyline may cause a condition that affects heart rhythm (QT prolongation), which can rarely result in serious (rarely fatal) fast/irregular heartbeat and other symptoms (like severe dizziness, and fainting) requiring immediate medical attention.
• The risk of QT prolongation may be elevated if you have certain medical conditions or are taking other drugs that may cause QT prolongation. Before using nortriptyline, inform your doctor or pharmacist of all the drugs you take and whether you have certain heart problems, a family history of certain heart problems, or low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood.
