nortriptyline and Aging

nortriptyline has been researched along with Aging in 19 studies

Nortriptyline: A metabolite of AMITRIPTYLINE that is also used as an antidepressive agent. Nortriptyline is used in major depression, dysthymia, and atypical depressions.
nortriptyline : An organic tricyclic compound that is 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d][7]annulene substituted by a 3-(methylamino)propylidene group at position 5. It is an active metabolite of amitriptyline.

Aging: The gradual irreversible changes in structure and function of an organism that occur as a result of the passage of time.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Therapeutic drug monitoring data for nortriptyline (674 analyses from 578 patients) were evaluated with the nonparametric maximum likelihood (NPML) method in order to determine the population kinetic parameters of this drug and their relation to age, body weight and duration of treatment."3.69Population pharmacokinetics of nortriptyline during monotherapy and during concomitant treatment with drugs that inhibit CYP2D6--an evaluation with the nonparametric maximum likelihood method. ( Jerling, M; Mallet, A; Mentré, F; Merlé, Y, 1994)
" The authors measured serum levels of NT and 10-hydroxynortriptyline (10-OH-NT) using a column-switching HPLC method, and examined aging effects on NT steady-state levels to NT doses (doses/kg) ratios and NT levels to 10-OH-NT levels ratios as well as clinical response and propensity for side effects."3.68Nortriptyline response in elderly depressed patients. ( Kanba, S; Kinoshita, N; Matsumoto, K; Nibuya, M; Shintani, F; Suzuki, E; Yagi, G, 1992)
"It is important to understand both the kinetic and the dynamic implications of dosing TCAs and BZs in the elderly, for whom these drugs are frequently prescribed."2.37Implications of dosing tricyclic antidepressants and benzodiazepines in geriatrics. ( Cutler, NR; Narang, PK, 1984)
" The actual dosing levels at the second treatment were compared with estimates based on HA."1.35Seizure threshold in a large sample: implications for stimulus dosing strategies in bilateral electroconvulsive therapy: a report from CORE. ( Bailine, S; Braga, RJ; Fink, M; Husain, M; Kellner, C; Knapp, R; Malur, C; Mueller, M; O'Connor, K; Petrides, G; Rummans, T, 2009)
"2."1.26Plasma nortriptyline and cardiac responses in young and old rats. ( Bonaccorsi, A; Franco, R; Garattini, S; Morselli, PL; Pita, E, 1977)
"For nortriptyline there is an inverse ratio, with more nortriptyline and desmethylnortriptyline in the older animals than in the young ones."1.26[Proceedings: Age and sex specificity of organ distribution and metabolism of chlorprothixene and nortriptyline in the rat (author's transl)]. ( Dell, HD; Fassbender, W; Kamp, R; Lorenz, D, 1976)
