Description

Tricyclic antidepressants have first appeared on the market and have many drawbacks, but, nevertheless, Anafranil is in a great demand and helps to effectively cope with depression of any severity.

 

What is Anafranil?

Anafranil is a brand name of Clomipramine which is used for the treatment of depression. This tricyclic antidepressant arrests the symptoms of the depression by means of the serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibition.

 

If the serotonin concentration is increased, the human has better mood, easily resists depression and stress, and the quality of sleep is improved. During the high concentration of noradrenaline, there is a stimulating effect which is manifested in the increased frequency of the heart beats, and light agitation of the central nervous system.

 

Unlike common antidepressants, Anafranil acts more intensively and the effect happens faster. In spite of this, there are some restrictions, and patients with acute maniac states are not recommended this drug.

 

A medical effect occurs within 2 weeks after the started treatment. Anafranil has a broad-spectrum action, and therefore it is often prescribed patients for the complex treatment of depression.
