ANAFRANIL TB 10MG

Anafranil TB 10mg contains the active ingredient clomipramine, which is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). It is primarily used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but it may also be prescribed for other conditions such as depression, panic disorder, and chronic pain.

Clomipramine works by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, in the brain. These neurotransmitters play a key role in regulating mood, anxiety, and other psychological functions.

The 10mg dose is typically used as a starting dose or for patients who require a lower dose due to sensitivity or specific medical conditions. The dosage may be gradually increased based on the patient's response and tolerance to the medication. Anafranil is usually taken once or twice daily, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare provider. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is important to manage any potential side effects, such as drowsiness, dry mouth, or changes in heart rate, which are common with tricyclic antidepressants.
