amitriptyline and Fever

amitriptyline has been researched along with Fever in 7 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.

Fever: An abnormal elevation of body temperature, usually as a result of a pathologic process.

"Hypersensitivity syndrome is a specific severe idiosyncratic reaction causing skin, liver, joint, and haematological abnormalities, which usually resolve after the discontinuation of the implicated drug."5.31Hypersensitivity syndrome caused by amitriptyline administration. ( Elisaf, MS; Milionis, HJ; Skopelitou, A, 2000)
"Prolonged coma due to acute overdosage with hypnotic drugs is shown to be associated with a pronounced increase in the activity of serum creatine kinase and in the concentration of fibrin degradation products and with less pronounced abnormalities of other serum enzymes and of other indices of coagulation and fibrinolysis."3.65Effects of poisoning on serum enzyme activities, coagulation, and fibrinolysis. ( Brown, SS; Clarkson, AR; Fuster, V; Wright, N, 1971)
"Sixty patients meeting DSM-III criteria for major depression were assigned randomly to double-blind treatment for four weeks according to fixed-dosage steps with (1) amitriptyline hydrochloride alone, up to a maximum dosage of 300 mg/day; (2) tranylcypromine alone, up to 40 mg/day; or (3) the combination of amitriptyline hydrochloride, up to 150 mg/day, and tranylcypromine, up to 20 mg/day."2.65The safety and efficacy of combined amitriptyline and tranylcypromine antidepressant treatment. A controlled trial. ( Palmer, R; Razani, J; Rebal, R; Simpson, G; Sloane, RB; White, J; White, KL, 1983)
"Hypersensitivity syndrome is a specific severe idiosyncratic reaction causing skin, liver, joint, and haematological abnormalities, which usually resolve after the discontinuation of the implicated drug."1.31Hypersensitivity syndrome caused by amitriptyline administration. ( Elisaf, MS; Milionis, HJ; Skopelitou, A, 2000)
"The patient died on day 3 from cardiocirculatory collapse and arrhythmias."1.29Hyperthermia complicating tricyclic antidepressant overdose. ( Baud, FJ; Benaissa, M; Clemessy, JL; Hantson, P, 1996)
