What does it do?

Amoxapine belongs to the tricyclic antidepressant class and is used in medications with the aim of improving the mood of patients with depression. It helps stabilize mental state by regulating the imbalance of neurotransmitters.

Amoxapine inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain, thereby increasing the concentration of these neurotransmitters. This results in an improved mood and alleviation of depressive symptoms.
