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 well-established medication containing imipramine, an ingredient primarily used to manage Major Depressive Disorder, Enuresis and Nocturnal Enuresis. The treatment comes in tablet form. Patients have access to multiple options in strengths of 25, 50 and 75mg to suit their requirements.
