⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Clomipramine Hydrochloride is an original tricyclic antidepressant and belongs to the dibenzazepine group of compounds. It is presumed to act on obsessive and compulsive behaviours through its effects on serotonergic neuronal transmission. The exact neurochemical mechanism isn't known. But the medicine can inhibit the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT), and this is thought to be important (as with obsessions and compulsions), which in turn hampers social acquaintance.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
There are no adequate, well-controlled studies on the safety of clomipramine in pregnancy. Limited data suggest that clomipramine is likely to pass into human breast milk. It also has a known risk of damage to the fetus.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
