Why is Tofranil prescribed?

Tofranil is primarily prescribed to treat depression. It’s also used to manage bedwetting (enuresis) in children aged 6 and older, especially when no physical cause is found.

What does it do?

Tofranil is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) that works by increasing levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. For bedwetting, it may help by relaxing the bladder and enhancing the brain’s ability to respond to a full bladder during sleep.

How should I take it?

Always follow your doctor’s instructions or the directions on the product label when taking this medication. Tofranil should be taken by mouth, with or without food, exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

For depression, treatment typically begins at 75 mg per day, with gradual increases if needed, up to a maximum outpatient dose of 200 mg per day. When used for bedwetting, it is usually taken at bedtime, with the dosage tailored to the child’s age and response. Do not stop this medication suddenly, as doing so can lead to withdrawal symptoms and make sure to always follow your doctor’s instructions for tapering off safely.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose of Tofranil, take it as soon as you remember. However, if your next scheduled dose is approaching, skip the missed dose and proceed with your usual dosing routine. Do not take extra or double doses to make up for the missed dose.

What are the special precautions before taking Tofranil?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history.

Disclose all your current or past medical conditions to your doctor, particularly if you have:

• Diabetes
• Heart problems
• Kidney or liver problems
• Brugada syndrome
• Seizures
• Bipolar disorder
• Depression
• Glaucoma
• Urinary problems
• High thyroid hormone level
• Stroke
• Planned surgery

Do not take this medication if you have taken an MAO inhibitor within the past 14 days and ECG should be taken first prior to starting this medication until steady state has been achieved.

This is not a complete list of potential side effects, and additional reactions may occur. For detailed information and medical guidance, consult your healthcare provider.

Is it safe to take it with another drug?

Tofranil (Imipramine HCl) can interact with various medications, so it's important to check for potential interactions before taking it with another drug. Some interactions may increase side effects or reduce effectiveness.

Before taking Tofranil, consult your doctor if you are using any of the following medications:

• Amiodarone
• Phenelzine
• Tranylcypromine
• Cimetidine
• Cisapride

This is not a complete list of all the potential drug interactions, always consult your doctor or pharmacist before combining Tofranil with other medications to ensure safety.

How should I store it?

Tofranil should be kept in its original container and stored at room temperature, ideally between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F), to maintain its effectiveness.

What action should I take in case of overdose?

If you suspect an overdose of Tofranil (Imipramine Hcl), it's important to act quickly and seek immediate medical attention. Contact emergency services or go to the nearest hospital. Overdose symptoms may include severe drowsiness, irregular heartbeat, seizures, fainting, or coma.

Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

Tofranil (Imipramine Hcl) can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but only under careful medical supervision. Tofranil is not routinely recommended during pregnancy unless the benefits clearly outweigh the risks. Regarding breastfeeding, Tofranil does pass into breast milk, but usually in very small amounts. However, if high doses are needed or the baby is newborn or premature, other medications like nortriptyline or sertraline may be safer alternatives.

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider for guidance on its use to ensure safety for both you and your baby.
