Frequently asked questions

What conditions is Imipramine Tillomed used for?+
Imipramine Tillomed is prescribed for major depressive disorder, depressive episodes in bipolar disorder, and panic disorder. It may also be used off‑label for nocturnal enuresis, but the primary approved indications are psychiatric conditions that benefit from increased norepinephrine and serotonin activity.
How does Imipramine Hydrochloride work in the body?+
The drug blocks the reuptake of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and serotonin at neuronal synapses. By preventing their removal, it raises their concentrations in the brain, which helps improve mood, reduce anxiety, and alleviate depressive symptoms.
What is the usual dose of Imipramine Tillomed?+
The specific dose of Imipramine Tillomed is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, age, response, and tolerability. Dosage adjustments are made during treatment to achieve optimal therapeutic effect while minimizing side effects.
Is Imipramine Tillomed safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Imipramine Hydrochloride in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by a qualified healthcare professional.

Store Imipramine Tillomed at below 25 °C in its original container, protecting it from moisture and direct sunlight. Do not expose the product to extreme temperatures or humidity to maintain its stability.

Imipramine Tillomed is taken orally, usually with a glass of water. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not chewed or crushed, unless the prescriber provides specific instructions for a different administration method.
What are the most serious risks associated with Imipramine Tillomed?+
Serious risks include cardiac arrhythmias, especially in patients with pre‑existing heart disease, seizures, severe hypotension, agranulocytosis, hepatotoxicity, and the potential for increased suicidal thoughts during early treatment phases.
Who should not use Imipramine Tillomed?+
Patients with recent myocardial infarction, uncontrolled heart rhythm disorders, severe liver or kidney impairment, known hypersensitivity to tricyclic antidepressants, or those currently on MAO inhibitors should avoid using Imipramine Tillomed unless directed by a physician.
