What is Amitriptyline Compounded?
Amitriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant. It's used to treat certain behavioral problems, such as separation anxiety, fear of noises, and anxiety in dogs, and urinating out of the litter box, spraying, and anxiety in cats. Compounding is beneficial in instances where a specific dosage is unavailable where a different form will make it easier to dose your pet. Amitriptyline requires a prescription from your veterinarian.
