Imipramine is a medication primarily used to treat depression and certain anxiety disorders. It belongs to a class of drugs known as tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), which work by increasing the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain, helping to improve mood and emotional balance. In addition to its use for depression, imipramine is also prescribed for conditions like nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) in children and chronic pain management. It is important for patients to follow their healthcare provider's instructions when taking this medication, as it can have side effects and may interact with other drugs.
