Metapramine is a tetracyclic antidepressant available in tablet and injectable form. It is claimed to have an antidepressant effect and is useful in all types of depression. Metapramine is a low-affinity antagonist of the NMDA receptor complex channel. Its acting as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor without affecting the reuptake of serotonin and dopamine. Quick acting, metapramine has a very interesting peculiarity: its large tolerance, which seems to be related to a no-anticholinergic effect. Metapramine could be indicated for correction of extra-pyramidal side effects induced by neuroleptics or observed in parkinsonism.
