Patient summary
Imipramine 25mg, 50mg and 75mg tablets, used in the management of major depressive disorder and nocturnal enuresis. A tricyclic antidepressant.
Mechanism of action
Imipramine blocks the neuronal reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin. This increases their availability in the synaptic cleft, exerting an antidepressant effect, while its anticholinergic effect helps manage bedwetting.
Tofranil is a tablet containing imipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant. It comes in 25 mg, 50 mg and 75 mg strengths and is used in the management of major depressive disorder and nocturnal enuresis. The originator company is Novartis.
Imipramine blocks the neuronal reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin, which raises their availability in the synaptic cleft; its anticholinergic effect is what helps with bedwetting. Allow 2 to 4 weeks for the antidepressant effect to appear, and expect treatment to run long-term. Imipramine may impair driving, and blood pressure should be monitored regularly. It is contraindicated after a recent myocardial infarction, with concurrent use of MAO inhibitors, and in prostatic hypertrophy. Breastfeeding is contraindicated; use in pregnancy only if essential.
