nortriptyline and Hypotension

nortriptyline has been researched along with Hypotension in 9 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.

Hypotension: Abnormally low BLOOD PRESSURE that can result in inadequate blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Common symptom is DIZZINESS but greater negative impacts on the body occur when there is prolonged depravation of oxygen and nutrients.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The investigators studied a patient with a nortriptyline HCI level of 1,205 ng/mL who had four generalized grand mal seizures, each lasting between 60 and 90 seconds that were immediately followed by hypotension requiring norepinephrine support."7.69Recurrent hypotension immediately after seizures in nortriptyline overdose. ( Bell, A; Gaynor, B; Lipper, B, 1994)

( Bell, A; Gaynor, B; Lipper, B, 1994)
" Using the weight-adjusted dosage schedule, 18 of the 21 patients attained plasma concentrations of nortriptyline within the presumed therapeutic range; however, no clear relationship could be established between plasma concentrations and clinical response."1.28Simulated home treatment of depression with nortriptyline. ( Hollister, L; Peabody, C; Van Norman, J; Warner, D, 1991)
"Phenytoin has been proposed as a prophylaxis and treatment of these dysrhythmias, since it is thought to improve conduction in this setting."1.27Phenytoin prophylaxis of cardiotoxicity in experimental amitriptyline poisoning. ( Callaham, M; Pentel, P; Schumaker, H, 1988)
