Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
The Depsol Forte tablet exerts its mechanism of action by increasing the levels of chemical messengers in the brain that help regulate mood and depression. Depsol Forte tablet contains Imipramine, which is considered a mixed reuptake inhibitor. It inhibits the reuptake of noradrenaline and serotonin in the brain. Noradrenaline acts as both hormone and neurotransmitter in the brain. It regulates alertness, focuses attention, restlessness, and anxiety, whereas serotonin carries messages between nerve cells and regulates mood and anxiety.
Thus by acting on these messengers, Depsol Forte tablets help relieve the symptoms of depression.
