WHAT ANAFRANIL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT ANAFRANIL IS
Anafranil is available as tablets and sustained-release tablets. The
active substance in Anafranil is
clomipramine hydrochloride, which belongs to group of medicines called
tricyclic antidepressants.
WHAT ANAFRANIL IS USED FOR
Anafranil is used to treat depression and mood disorders. Other
psychological conditions that can be
treated with Anafranil are obsessions, panic states and phobias
(irrational fears), chronic painful
conditions and muscular weakness (cataplexy) associated with repeat
attacks of extreme sleepiness
(narcolepsy) in adults. In children aged above 5 years, Anafranil is
used to treat obsessions and bed-
wetting.
HOW ANAFRANIL WORKS
Anafranil is believed to work either by increasing the amount of
naturally occurring chemical
messengers (noradrenaline and serotonin) in the brain or by making
their effects last longer.
If you have any questions about how Anafranil works or why this
medicine has been prescribed for you,
ask your doctor.
