Desipramine (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Desipramine (Norpramin, Pertofane) is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). It inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine and to a lesser extent serotonin. It is used to treat depression, but not considered a first line treatment since the introduction of SSRI antidepressants. Desipramine is an active metabolite of imipramine. Along with other tricyclics, desipramine has found use in treating neuropathic pain.
