Depsol-25

Uses
Depsol (Imipramine Hydrochloride) is a dibenzazepine tricyclic antidepressant which can help patients with depression by acting on the neurotransmitter systems. Some doctors have also treated patients affected by bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) with it, and people suffering from chronic pain have also taken it. Medical experts have attributed its antidepressive effects to its blocking of noradrenaline uptake (reabsorption) at the nerve endings. This enhances the positive mental effects of noradrenaline and helps to reduce depressed emotions.

Dosage and Administration
Depsol (Imipramine Hydrochloride) comes in tablet form and the medicine content of each one is 25mg. Outpatients undergoing treatment for depression are sometimes instructed by their doctor to begin treatment with a dosage regimen consisting of 75mg per day (as separate doses). Your doctor will tell you when to take each tablet and it is necessary to comply with all instructions given. Gradual dosage titration may be ordered by your doctor.
