id="_Trimipramine_OVERVIEW_">OVERVIEW</h2><div id="Trimipramine.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Trimipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant used in the therapy of major (endogenous) as well as reactive (exogenous) depression. In clinical trials, trimipramine therapy was not associated with an increased rate of elevations in serum aminotransferase levels, and it has yet to be linked to instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.</p></div><div id="Trimipramine.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Trimipramine (trye mip' ra meen) is a tricyclic antidepressant that is believed to act by enhancing serotonergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission. Like most tricyclic antidepressants, trimipramine is a weak inhibitor of serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake, but also has direct antagonist activity for some serotonin and adrenergic receptors. Trimipramine has been shown to alleviate symptoms of depression, both in patients with neurotic or situation depression as well as those with major, endogenous depression. Trimipramine was approved for use in the United States in 1979 and is still clinically available, although now not widely used. Trimipramine is available as capsules of 25, 50 and 100 mg generically and under the brand name Surmontil. The typical initial dosage in adults is 75 mg daily in divided doses, which can be modified to once daily and increased in total dose based upon efficacy and tolerance to as highly as 150 to 200 mg once daily. Common side effects are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, drowsiness, headache, insomnia, weight gain and sexual dysfunction. Rare potential side effects include increased suicide risk, cardiac arrhythmias, urinary retention and acute serotonin syndrome.</p></div><div id="Trimipramine.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In clinical trials, liver test abnormalities were uncommon in patients taking trimipramine (&#x0003c;1%) and generally no more frequent than in placebo or comparator arm recipients. No instances of acute, clinically apparent liver injury attributed to trimipramine have been reported. Most other tricyclic antidepressants in clinical use have been associated with occasional instances of acute liver injury, usually arising within 2 to 8 weeks of starting therapy. The pattern of serum enzyme elevations varied from hepatocellular to cholestatic and autoimmune features were uncommon. Immunoallergic features (rash, fever, eosinophilia) can occur, but are not prominent. Most cases of acute liver injury due to tricyclic antidepressants are mild-to-moderate in severity and resolve within one to three months. Acute liver failure due to tricyclic antidepressants has been described, but is very rare. No such cases have been linked to trimipramine use but it is rarely used.</p><p>Likelihood score: D (possible rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Trimipramine.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The mechanism by which trimipramine might cause liver injury is not known. Trimipramine is metabolized at least in part by the liver, but it has not been linked to significant drug-drug interactions.</p></div><div id="Trimipramine.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>The serum aminotransferase elevations that occur on amoxapine therapy are usually self-limited and do not require dose modification or discontinuation of therapy. No instances of acute liver failure or vanishing bile duct syndrome due to trimipramine have been reported. There is no information on cross sensitivity to liver injury between trimipramine and other tricyclic antidepressants, but switching to another class of agents (such as the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) is probably prudent.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Antidepressants/?report=reader">Antidepressant Agents</a></p><p>Other Drugs in the Subclass, Tricyclics: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Amitriptyline/?report=reader">Amitriptyline</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Amoxapine/?report=reader">Amoxapine</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Clomipramine/?report=reader">Clomipramine</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Desipramine/?report=reader">Desipramine</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Doxepin/?report=reader">Doxepin</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Imipramine/?report=reader">Imipramine</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Nortriptyline/?report=reader">Nortriptyline</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Protriptyline/?report=reader">Protriptyline</a></p></div></div><div id="Trimipramine.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Trimipramine_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
