What is Clofranil-25?
Clofranil containing the active ingredient clomipramine is considered a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) type of medication. The medication works by increasing the amount of the natural substance serotonin to help maintain mental balance. It is used to treat obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms such as the urge to perform repeated tasks and having unwanted thoughts. Some people may also use the medication to treat symptoms of depression.

How is Clofranil-25 used?
Clofranil is usually taken 1 to 3 times per day or as directed by a doctor. To prevent an upset stomach the tablets should be taken with a meal along with plenty of water. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage as it will depend on the patient's condition and their response to the medication. Continue with regular checkups as the doctor may alter the dosage after several weeks of treatment for maximum benefits. Do not discontinue the medication without consulting a doctor as abruptly stopping the treatment may cause severe withdrawal symptoms.
