Definition

a drug used primarily in the treatment of major depressive disorder, although it may also be used to treat asthma or irritable bowel syndrome.

  • 1.Tianeptine has antidepressant and anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) properties with a relative lack of sedative, anticholinergic and cardiovascular adverse effects, thus suggesting it is particularly suitable for use in the elderly and in those following alcohol withdrawal; such persons can be more sensitive to the adverse effects of psychotropic drugs.
