Protriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) used primarily for the treatment of depression and occasionally for conditions such as ADHD and narcolepsy. It is less sedating than other TCAs and is no longer a first-line therapy, but still clinically used in some cases.
Estimates based on general TCA pharmacokinetics and available secondary resources for adult subjects; specific published compartmental PK studies on protriptyline are lacking.
