Anafranil 25 Mg 30 Tab

Anafranil 25 mg is a medication used to treat severe depression by increasing levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin that improve mood. It also helps treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and may aid in delaying premature ejaculation in men.

Anafranil Ingredients

Anafranil contains the active ingredient clomipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant that increases serotonin and norepinephrine levels in the nervous system, aiding in the treatment of depression and psychological disorders.

• It may also help delay premature ejaculation in men.

Anafranil Dosage

• For depression or OCD: The daily dosage starts at 50-75 mg (2-3 tablets) and may be gradually increased based on the doctor’s instructions.

• For muscle weakness in narcolepsy: The dosage ranges from 25-75 mg (1-3 tablets) daily.
