While newer antidepressant medications have gained popularity in recent years, tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) remain an essential treatment option for depression.

They are first-generation antidepressants that are commonly used to treat Major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and chronic pain (off-label).

TCAs are often used in the context of patients exhibiting a non-response to other first and second-line antidepressants. However, not all TCAs are the same, and clinicians must understand their differences and unique properties to treat their patients effectively.

The article covers the following:

  • History of TCAs
  • Mechanism of Action
  • Variations in the potency and affinity of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) for different receptors and transporters.
  • Pharmacokinetics?
  • Clinical Indications and Dosing
  • Safety Profile?
  • Other indications
