A small arrow pointing down

Amitriptyline HCl 1 mg/ml Oral Syrup (Vet-Avian) is a concentrated liquid formulation that contains the active ingredient Amitriptyline HCl, a tricyclic antidepressant. This medication is primarily used to manage depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders in avian patients. It may also be prescribed for the treatment of chronic pain. The syrup formulation is designed to be palatable and easy to administer, making it an ideal choice for birds that may have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules.

It is important to note that Amitriptyline HCl 1 mg/ml Oral Syrup (Vet-Avian) should not be used in conjunction with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), other tricyclic antidepressants, or medications that increase serotonin levels, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). This is due to the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by symptoms such as agitation, confusion, sweating, and changes in heart rate.

Patients receiving this medication should be closely monitored for signs of increased blood pressure, which can manifest as headache, dizziness, and blurred vision. Additionally, signs of hyponatremia, such as confusion, fatigue, and muscle weakness, should be watched for. Liver toxicity is another potential risk, with symptoms including jaundice, dark urine, and abdominal pain. Finally, any signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, and difficulty breathing, should be treated as a medical emergency.

If any of these side effects occur, it is crucial to seek medical attention immediately. This medication should be used under the supervision of a qualified veterinary professional to ensure the safety and well-being of the patient.
