MOTIVAL (FLUPHENAZINE HCI/NORTRIPTYLINE)

Motival Information

Motival is a medicine that is known to contain two main ingredients nortriptyline hydrochloride and fluphenazine hydrochloride. Fluphenazine hydrochloride is a phenothiazine antipsychotics one of the most popular 'major tranquillisers'. This substance blocks a variety of brain receptors, especially dopamine receptors. Dopamine is known to be important in the transmission of various signals between some of the brain’s cells. An excess amount of this substance leads to over-stimulation of the brain’s dopamine receptors, thus causing unwanted psychotic disorders. Fluphenazine hydrochloride has proved itself to be very useful in blocking these receptors, thus stopping them from becoming extra-stimulated. In this way, this substance is able to control psychotic disorders. Nortriptyline (Motival’s other main ingredient) is a tricyclic antidepressants (also known as TCA). In the case of a depression, the brain’s main nerve cells may release a lower amount of serotonin and noradrenaline (two very important brain chemicals that are known to lighten the patient’s mood). If they are reabsorbed into the brain’s nerve cells, they are no longer able to affect the patient’s mood. This substance (Nortriptyline) is able to prevent the nerve cells from re-absorbing serotonin and noradrenaline, thus prolonging the mood-lightning effect of these two substances.

Motival is used in the treatment of mild-moderate anxiety-depressive conditions.
