Clomipramine Capsules, 28 Capsules

Clomipramine Capsules offer an effective solution for the treatment of depression, obsessions and phobias, and cataplexy. This medication belongs to the tricyclic antidepressant group, and is available in three different strengths, Clomipramine 10mg, 25mg, and 50mg to provide tailored relief. From mild to severe symptoms, Clomipramine Capsules are a reliable treatment to help manage depression, including signs of fatigue or low mood. Likewise, this medication helps with obsessive and phobic conditions that cause significant disruption in day-to-day life. Furthermore, Clomipramine can be used as part of a broader treatment plan for cataplexy. This rare disorder is associated with narcolepsy and causes muscle weakness triggered by strong emotions. With the right care at the right dose, Clomipramine Capsules are here to help you effectively manage your mental health symptoms while providing optimal comfort.

Clomipramine Capsules can be used to treat dogs for separation anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and dominance aggression when prescribed by a Vet. Clomipramine may be used to treat cats to prevent urine marking/spraying, inter-cat aggression and compulsive grooming.

Warnings and precautions Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Clomipramine if you: – have ever had suicidal thoughts – suffer from epilepsy (fits) – have had a head injury or have suffered brain damage – are going to have electric shock therapy (ECT) – have other problems with your heart – have been told you have a low level of potassium in your blood (hypokalaemia). The doctor will need to treat this before you start taking clomipramine – have kidney disease – suffer from schizophrenia or other mental health conditions – have a blood disorder – have an overactive thyroid gland – have had severe constipation for a long time – have a tumour (cancer) of the adrenal gland (such as phaeochromocytoma or neuroblastoma) – liver disease – have low blood pressure – wear contact lenses – are elderly – The use of Buprenorphine together with Clomipramine can lead to serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition (see “Other medicines and Clomipramine”). Thoughts of suicide and worsening of your depression or anxiety disorder: If you are depressed and/or have anxiety disorders you can sometimes have thoughts of harming or killing yourself. These may be increased when first starting antidepressants, since these medicines all take time to work, usually about two weeks but sometimes longer. You may be more likely to think like this: – If you have previously had thoughts about killing or harming yourself. – If you are a young adult. Information from clinical trials has shown an increased risk of suicidal behaviour in young adults (less than 25 years old) with mental health conditions who were treated with an antidepressant. If you have thoughts of harming or killing yourself at any time, contact your doctor or go to a hospital straight away. You may find it helpful to tell a relative or close friend that you are depressed or have an anxiety disorder, and ask them to read this leaflet. You might ask them to tell you if they think your depression or anxiety is getting worse, or if they are worried about changes in your behaviour. Information for families, and caregivers You should monitor whether your depressed patient shows signs of behavioural changes such as unusual anxiety, restlessness, sleeping problems, irritability, aggressiveness, over-excitedness or other unusual changes in behaviour, worsening of depression or thinking about suicide. You should report any such symptoms to the patient’s doctor, especially if they are severe, start suddenly, or were not part of the patient’s presenting symptoms before. You should evaluate the emergence of such symptoms on a day-day basis, especially during anti-depressant treatment and when the dose is increased or decreased, since changes may be abrupt. Symptoms such as these may be associated with an increased risk for suicidal thinking and behaviour and indicate a need for very close monitoring and possibly changes in medication. Tell your doctor, dentist or hospital staff you are taking Clomipramine if you are to have surgery (including dental procedures), as the dose of Clomipramine may need to be reduced or stopped before you have an anaesthetic. While you are taking Clomipramine, especially if you take this medicine for a long time your doctor may want to monitor you by doing blood tests and other tests to check your heart and liver function. You should also have regular dental check-ups, as Clomipramine may cause dryness of the mouth which can increase the chance of tooth decay.
