Composition of Prothiaden 75 mg

Prothiaden 75 mg contains Dosulepin. It belongs to the Antidepressant class of medicines.

Uses of Prothiaden 75 mg

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Obsessive compulsive disorder
  • Nerve pain
  • Migraine prevention

Benefits of Prothiaden 75 mg

In Depression
Prothiaden restores the balance of the brain's chemical messengers, gradually lifting mood, energy, sleep and appetite. The benefit builds over several weeks, which is why it is important to keep taking it.
In Anxiety
Prothiaden calms persistent worry and the physical tension that goes with it, so that everyday situations feel manageable again.
In Obsessive compulsive disorder
Prothiaden reduces the intrusive thoughts and the urge to repeat rituals, usually alongside talking therapy.
In Nerve pain
Prothiaden dampens the pain signals from damaged nerves, easing burning, shooting or tingling pain that ordinary painkillers do not touch.
In Migraine prevention
Prothiaden, taken every day, reduces how often migraines come and how severe they are. It does not treat an attack once it has started.

How Prothiaden 75 mg works

Dosulepin restores the balance of the chemical messengers in the brain that regulate mood, sleep and the way pain is felt.

How to take Prothiaden 75 mg

Use this medicine as your doctor has directed. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause fits, dangerous heart rhythm disturbance and coma, and is particularly dangerous with the older tricyclic medicines. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Prothiaden 75 mg

Most side effects of Prothiaden are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Nausea
  • Dry mouth
  • Drowsiness or difficulty sleeping
  • Headache
  • Weight change
  • Reduced sexual desire
  • Constipation

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Warnings and precautions

These medicines take two to four weeks to begin working, and longer for the full effect. Stopping at two weeks because nothing has changed is the commonest mistake. Never stop suddenly. Abrupt withdrawal causes dizziness, electric-shock sensations, irritability and flu-like symptoms — your doctor will reduce the dose gradually. Tell your doctor or go to hospital immediately if thoughts of harming yourself appear or worsen, particularly in the first weeks or after a dose change, and especially in anyone under twenty-five. Seek urgent care for agitation with fever, shivering, a racing heart, muscle twitching or confusion, particularly if more than one medicine affecting serotonin is being taken. Side effects are usually worst in the first fortnight and then settle.

Do not take Prothiaden if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Must not be combined with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, or started within the gap your doctor specifies after one.

Interactions with other medicines

Tramadol, triptans for migraine, linezolid, St John's wort and other antidepressants can together raise serotonin dangerously. Anti-inflammatory painkillers and blood thinners increase the bleeding risk when combined with this group.

How to store Prothiaden 75 mg

Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.

Quick tips for Prothiaden 75 mg

  • Give it a fair trial of several weeks, and keep your review appointments.
  • Take it at the same time each day.
  • At night if it makes you drowsy, in the morning if it disturbs sleep.
  • Talking therapy alongside medicine works better than either alone for most people.
