4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Surmontil has a potent antidepressant action similar to that of other
tricyclic antidepressants. It also possesses a pronounced
sedative action. It is therefore indicated in the treatment of
depressive illness, especially where sleep disturbance, anxiety, or
agitation are presenting symptoms. Sleep disturbance is controlled
within 24 hours and true antidepressant action follows
within 7 to 10 days.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
The route of administration is oral.
Recommended Dosage:
Depression:
_Adults:_
The usual daily dose is 50 - 100 mg daily as a single dose, 2 hours
before retiring.
In more severe depression, dosage should be increased gradually until
the optimum therapeutic response is achieved (usually
150 - 300 mg daily) then reduced after 4-6 weeks to a maintenance
level of 75 - 150 mg daily.
_Elderly:_
Initially, a low dosage is recommended, generally half the minimum
recommended dose (see Pharmacokinetic Data). Increasing
dosage, if required, must take place gradually under clinical
supervision: the side effects of imipramines may have serious
consequences in elderly patients (falls, confusion).
_Paediatric Population:_
Surmontil should not be used in the treatment of children or
adolescents under the age of 18 years (see section 4.4 and 4.8).
_Patients with hepatic or renal insufficiency:_
In patients with hepatic an
