Imipramine, marketed under the brand name Tofranil, is a prescription medication employed to manage various medical conditions. It belongs to the drug class known as tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs)—imipramine acts by affecting the balance of certain natural chemicals in the brain.

Please note that a licensed healthcare provider's prescription is required for this medication.

Imipramine is primarily prescribed for the treatment of depression.

Depression, also known as major depressive disorder or clinical depression, is a type of mood disorder that negatively affects how you think, behave, and feel. Untreated depression can lead to a range of emotional and physical issues. Other mental conditions, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, can cause depression. Symptoms of depression can make it challenging to carry out day-to-day tasks and maintain personal relationships.

In addition to its use as a treatment for depression, imipramine is prescribed to treat bedwetting (enuresis) in children.

Enuresis, often called bedwetting, is a common medical condition characterized by the involuntary release of urine during sleep, particularly at night. This condition can affect individuals of various ages, including children and, in some cases, adults. Enuresis is typically considered a normal developmental phase in young children, but it may require medical attention when it persists beyond a certain age or reoccurs in older individuals. The causes of enuresis can vary, and it may be associated with factors such as genetics, delayed bladder maturation, or underlying medical or psychological conditions.

Imipramine is classified as a tricyclic antidepressant. These drugs function by affecting the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin and norepinephrine. This action helps to regulate mood and reduce anxiety.

Imipramine’s effect on bedwetting is not fully understood, though it has been approved by the FDA as an adjunctive therapy for this condition in children.
