Abstract: A poster presentation regarding the analysis of amitriptyline and its metabolites. Aims: Amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, has been renowned for over half a century for its efficacy, pharmacoeconomic benefits and potential adverse effects. Most analytical procedures utilised for recommended therapeutic drug monitoring only account for amitriptyline as the parent drug and nortriptyline as the active demethylated metabolite. This project aimed to determine the hydroxylated metabolites which may prove expedient due to possible clinical effects, particularly cardiovascular toxicity.
