A strength especially suited for psychiatric practice. Especially suited for certain outpatients. Endep (amitriptyline HCl) 150 mg is particularly useful as a single h.s. dose in outpatients requiring the maximum daily dose of amitriptyline during therapy. The scored tablet ensures that the dose can be readily cut in half should side effects become clinically significant. The cost of a prescription of 150-mg tablets is considerably lower than that of the milligram equivalent supplied by lower strength tablets; for instance, for those patients who require 75 mg daily as maintenance, prescribing one-half of the 150-mg scored tablet can result in significant savings. Especially suited for certain inpatients. A single daily tablet of 150-mg Endep may become the most widely used strength of amitriptyline for the treatment of depressed inpatients. Two such tablets constitute the maximum daily dose of amitriptyline for hospitalized patients. The low number of tablets required considerably lessens the chance of error and also considerably lowers the overall cost of medication. New Endep 150-mg amitriptyline HCl/Roche scored tablets. |
