WHAT ANAFRANIL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Anafranil contains a medicine called clomipramine hydrochloride. This
belongs to a group of medicines called
“tricyclic
antidepressants”.
Anafranil
is
thought
to
work
either
by
increasing
the
amount
of
chemical
“messengers” in the brain or by making their effects last longer.
Anafranil is used to treat depression, obsessions and phobias
(irrational fears). It is also used to treat muscular
weakness (cataplexy) associated with repeat attacks of extreme
sleepiness (narcolepsy) in adults.

4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
In the management of endogenous depression including manic depression,
periodic and involutional depression,
reactive and neurotic depression, obsessional and phobic states and as
an adjunctive treatment of cataplexy associated
with narcolepsy.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Before initiating treatment with Anafranil, hypokalemia should be
treated (see 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for
use).
As a precaution against possible QTc prolongation and serotonergic
toxicity, adherence to the recommended doses of
Anafranil is advised and any increase in dose should be made with
caution if other serotonergic agents are co-
administered (see sections 4.4 Special Warnings and Precautions for
use and 4.5 Interaction with other Medicinal
Products and other forms of Interaction).
The dosage should be adapted to the individual patient’s condition.
The aim is to achieve an optimum effect while
keeping the doses as low as possible and increasing them cautiously.
After a response has been obtained, maintenance
therapy should be continued at the optimum dose to avoid relapse.
Patients with a history of recurrent depression
require maintenance treatment for a longer duration. Duration of
maintenance treatment and need for further treatment
should be reviewed periodically.
Abrupt discontinuation of Anafranil therapy should be avoided because
of possible withdrawal symptoms. Therefore,
dosage should be stopped gradually after regular use for long duration
and the patient should
