Dormir belongs to a group of medicines which work as an anxiolytic and antidepressant. Flupentixol shows anxiolytic effects by blocking dopamine receptors specially D2 receptor and Melitracen, a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA), inhibits norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake thus produces antidepressant effects.
Peak plasma concentration is reached in about 4 hours after oral administration of flupentixol and in about 4 hours after oral administration of Melitracen. The biological half-life of flupentixol is about 35 hours and that of melitracen is about 19 hours. The combination of Flupentixol and Melitracen does not seem to influence the pharmacokinetic properties of the individual compounds.
