amitriptyline and Asthma

amitriptyline has been researched along with Asthma in 13 studies

Amitriptyline: Tricyclic antidepressant with anticholinergic and sedative properties. It appears to prevent the re-uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin at nerve terminals, thus potentiating the action of these neurotransmitters. Amitriptyline also appears to antagonize cholinergic and alpha-1 adrenergic responses to bioactive amines.
amitriptyline : An organic tricyclic compound that is 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d][7]annulene substituted by a 3-(dimethylamino)propylidene group at position 5.

Asthma: A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (RESPIRATORY HYPERSENSITIVITY), airway INFLAMMATION, and intermittent AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION. It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, WHEEZING, and dyspnea (DYSPNEA, PAROXYSMAL).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Amitriptyline is a drug of high potential, which inhibits acute bronchoconstriction and induces bronchodilatation in pre-contracted airways."1.91Amitriptyline inhibits bronchoconstriction and directly promotes dilatation of the airways. ( Böll, S; Braunschweig, T; Hempel, P; Klein, V; Martin, C; Michely, A; Rieg, AD; Spillner, J; Tenbrock, K; Verjans, E; von Stillfried, S; Wagner, N, 2023)
"Unexplained cough is a diagnosis of exclusion that should not be made until a thorough validated diagnostic evaluation is performed, specific and appropriate validated treatments have been tried and failed, and uncommon causes have been ruled out."1.36Unexplained cough in the adult. ( Irwin, RS, 2010)
