The NHS warns patients on amitriptyline to seek emergency care for symptoms like stroke, heart attack, or seizures.
The NHS has warned UK patients taking amitriptyline for chronic pain or migraines to watch for serious side effects requiring emergency care, including symptoms of stroke, heart attack, seizures, or low sodium levels.
The drug, originally an antidepressant, is widely prescribed for pain, with over 15 million prescriptions issued in 2022-23.
While it may improve sleep and reduce pain, patients should seek immediate medical help if they experience severe symptoms like chest pain, confusion, vision changes, or weakness.
The warning emphasizes careful monitoring and prompt action if concerning signs arise.
