Limitrol 12.5 mg + 5 mg Tablet is a combination of Amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA), and Chlordiazepoxide, a benzodiazepine. This synergistic formulation is used to treat patients with depression accompanied by anxiety or agitation, and can be helpful for short-term management of mood disorders with somatic symptoms.
Amitriptyline works by inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin in the brain, improving mood and emotional balance.
Chlordiazepoxide has anxiolytic, sedative, and muscle-relaxant properties, reducing excessive anxiety and promoting calmness.
