The history of Anafranil dates back to the early 1960s when it was first developed as an antidepressant by Geigy AG. It was approved for use in the United States in 1989 and is now available as a generic drug.
The active ingredients in Anafranil are clomipramine hydrochloride, which is a tricyclic antidepressant, and sodium chloride. It is available in the form of tablets, capsules, and a liquid solution.
Anafranil has several synonyms, including Anafranil SR, Clomipramine, Clomipramine HCl, Clomipramine Hydrochloride, and Gen-Clomipramine.
Anafranil is generally well-tolerated, but it can cause side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, dizziness, and weight gain. It is important to discuss any potential side effects with a doctor before taking Anafranil.
Anafranil can be an effective treatment for many people with OCD, panic disorder, and depression. It is important to take it as prescribed by a doctor and to follow all instructions for taking the medication.
