Mechanism of action

Trittico is an antidepressant. Trazodone, being a derivative of triazolopyridine, has a predominantly antidepressant effect, with some sedative and anxiolytic effect. Trazodone does not affect MAO, which distinguishes it from MAO inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants. The mechanism of action of trazodone is associated with a high affinity of the drug for certain subtypes of serotonin receptors, with which trazodone enters into antagonistic or agonistic interaction depending on the subtype, as well as with a specific ability to cause inhibition of serotonin reuptake.
Quickly affects mental (affective tension, irritability, fear, insomnia) and somatic anxiety symptoms (heartbeat, headache, muscle pain, frequent urination, sweating, hyperventilation).Trazodone is effective in sleep disorders in patients with depression, increases the depth and duration of sleep, restores its physiological structure and quality. Trittico stabilizes the emotional state, improves mood, reduces the pathological craving for alcohol in patients suffering from chronic alcoholism during the period of alcohol withdrawal syndrome, also in remission. With withdrawal symptoms in patients suffering from dependence on benzodiazepine derivatives, trazodone is effective in treating anxiety-depressive states and sleep disorders. During remission, benzodiazepines can be completely replaced by trazodone. It helps to restore libido and potency in both depressed patients and non-depressed individuals. The drug is not addictive. It has little effect on the neutral uptake of norepinephrine and dopamine. Does not affect body weight.
