Amitriptyline, the active component in Mebryl Tab (Embramine), works by increasing the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. These neurotransmitters are involved in regulating mood, sleep, and pain perception. The exact mechanism by which it alleviates pain is not fully understood but is believed to be related to its effects on neurotransmission in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
