Altimina

(Fecamfamine, Sicoclor)

Altimina is an atypical antidepressant classified as Norephinephrine Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitors (NDRIs) that acts on the norepinephrine and dopamine receptors, but also reduces the neurotransmitter that works on the peripheral muscles extending from the central nervous system (consisting of the brain and spinal cord) to limbs and organs and the central nervous system.

    NDRIs act on the neurotransmitters Norepinephrine and Dopamine.  Norapinephrine is both a neurotransmitter and a hormone. As a hormone secreted by the adrenal gland it works in conjunction with epinephrine and adrenaline to give the body rapid energy in times of stress.  As a neurotransmitter, it passes nerve impulses from one cell in the nervous system to the next.  Dopamine, as a chemical messenger, is similar to adrenaline, and affects the processes in the brain that control movement, emotional responses and our ability to experience pleasure and pain.  Dopamine is often called the ‘reward chemical’ of the body. 

    SNRIs increase Norepinephrine and Dopamine levels in the brain by preventing the absorption into the cells that released them. This process is called “reuptake inhibition”.

    Buproprion was approved in 1985 and is the most common NDRI prescribed today. However, in May 2010 reports of a possible link between the antidepressant drug and cardiac birth defects surfaced. These reports appeared in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and indicated 2 of every 1,000 women who took Buproprion during the first trimester of their pregnancy had an increased risk of heart birth defects. Additionally, the findings indicated that there is more than double the risk for specific heart defects as compared to babies whose mother had not taken the drug.

    Since the medication can increase blood pressure in some individuals, it’s important to monitor your levels on a regular basis. Anyone with a history of heart disease, seizure and eating disorders should alert their doctor prior to beginning an NDRI.

    There are potentially dangerous drug interactions, so alert your doctor and pharmacist to all the over the counter (OTC), prescription medications, herbal and dietary supplements you are taking. Those with cirrhosis of the liver are not encouraged to take NDRIs it can actually cause more liver problems.

    NDRIs are often not used as the first choice for an antidepressant, but are instead used when other medications have been ineffective in relieving symptoms.

    Unlike most antidepressants, NDRIs are generally considered stimulants and have a unique set of side effects.
