TOFRANIL Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is TOFRANIL?
TOFRANIL is the brand name for imipramine and is available as an oral capsule.
What dosages is TOFRANIL available in?

What is TOFRANIL used for?
TOFRANIL is a tricyclic antidepressant that is used to treat:
- Depression
- Bedwetting in children (imipramine hydrochloride only)
How does TOFRANIL work?
TOFRANIL is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). The exact way it works isn’t known. For depression, TOFRANIL is thought to work by raising the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine chemicals in your brain; these chemicals are involved with regulating mood. For bedwetting, the medication is thought to allow the bladder to hold more urine.
How do I take TOFRANIL?
The total daily dose of TOFRANIL is either split up into several smaller doses throughout the day or taken as a single dose before bedtime. Your provider will adjust your dosage based on how well it’s helping your symptoms and whether you’re having side effects.
Is it safe for me to take TOFRANIL?
TOFRANIL is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. The concomitant use of monoamine oxidase inhibiting compounds is contraindicated. Hyperpyretic crises or severe convulsive
seizures may occur in patients receiving such combinations. The potentiation of adverse effects can be serious, or even fatal. When it is desired to substitute Imipramine Hydrochloride Tablets USP in patients receiving a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, as long an page 2 of 10 interval should elapse as the clinical situation will allow, with a minimum of 14 days. Initial dosage should be low and increases should be gradual and cautiously prescribed. The drug is contraindicated during the acute recovery period after a myocardial infarction. Patients with a known hypersensitivity to this compound should not be given the drug. The possibility of cross-sensitivity to other dibenzazepine compounds should be kept in mind.
