Are Redomex and Nortrilen still available in Belgium?
There is uncertainty about the sales of the antidepressants Nortrilen and Redomex in Belgium.
Nortriptyline (Nortrilen) and amitriptyline (Redomex) are powerful antidepressants that are also used in pain relief, for example for severe nerve pain. These medications are prescribed as pain treatment by anesthetists, general practitioners and neurologists.
Lundbeck only gives economic reasons for stopping sales.
There are no generics available for either medication. They are still for sale in other European countries, but at a much higher price.
On June 17, 2024, it was announced that Lundbeck will continue to supply Redomex and Nortrilen.
