Hello all, I’m trying to find out some info without having to speak to the GP or pharmacist at this stage.
I have been on Amitriptyline 10mg for 4 years, I believe the brand is Albus - it’s in a purple box. Before Christmas I had to change pharmacy and they gave me a different brand. After reading another mumsnet thread about medication I have twigged that this coincided with me getting really bad tummy issues, extreme bloating, gas and diarrhoea especially at night (I take the pills in an evening). It also seems to happen more when I have not eaten as much although I am trying to take them after food.
if anyone has the ingredients list for these pills I can compare it with my current brand, it would be really helpful for me to have the info before seeing my GP about it. Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

Do you not have the patient info leaflet that comes in the box? The ingredients will be on that. If not, you can look it up online.
