Antidep 75 MG Description
Antidep 75 mg tablet is used to treat depression, a mental health condition that causes persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. This medicine is also often pre
scribed to children as a treatment for bedwetting. The active ingredient in Antidep is imipramine. Antidep belongs to the tricyclic antidepressants (TCA) class of drugs. It works by increasing the levels of healthy mood hormones in the body and blocking some muscles' action, which helps treat bedwetting in children. Antidep 75 mg tablets bring about specific changes in the brain's chemical messengers, leading to an increase in the levels of hormones responsible for decreasing sadness, elevating mood, and bringing relaxation. Common side effects of Antidep 75 mg tablets include nausea, vomiting, delirium, and sleepiness. This medicine must be taken on under the supervision of a medical doctor.
