NORPRAMIN® (desipramine hydrochloride)

DESCRIPTION:

Each round lemon-yellow biconvex tablet contains:
NORPRAMINR (desipramine hydrochloride)..

Chemically:

.25 mg.

10, 11-dihydro-5-(3-methylaminopropyl)-5H-dibenz (b, f) azepine hydrochloride IN BRIEF

Action and Uses: Norpramin (desipramine hydrochloride) is the primary active metabolite of imipramine. It differs from earlier antidepressants in its rapid onset of action. Approximately 60 to 70% of patients with neurotic or psychotic depressions will respond satisfactorily. More than half will begin to improve in 2-5 days, others within a week. Usually, patients not responding within one week are less likely to improve.

Indications: Norpramin is useful in the treatment of neurotic and psychotic depressive reactions, and in manic depressive or involutional psychotic reactions. It may be used as co-therapy with tranquilizers in the treatment of markedly agitated forms of depressions.

Contraindications: (1) Norpramin should not be given within two weeks of treatment with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor. (2) Because of its autonomic effects, it is contraindicated in patients with glaucoma, urethral or ureteral spasm and recent myocardial infarction. (3) Severe coronary heart disease because of possible tachycardia. (4) Active epilepsy as it lowers the threshold for epileptiform seizures.

Precautions: (1) Norpramin treatment should not be substituted for hospitalization or restraint if the risk of homicide or suicide is considered grave. (2) In patients with manic depressive illness, Norpramin may induce a hypomanic state after the depressive phase terminates. (3) Although animal teratology studies proved negative, further clinical experience is necessary to establish safety in human pregnancy. (4) Discontinue therapy prior to elective surgery. Adverse Effects: Mild side effects may occur in about 1 of 4 patients. These are usually well tolerated. Side effects include: dry mouth, constipation, dizziness, palpitation, delayed urination, "bad taste", sensory illusion, tinnitus, agitation and stimulation, sweating, drowsiness, headache, orthostatic hypotension, flushing, nausea, cramps, weakness, blurred vision and mydriasis, rash, allergy, altered liver function, ataxia and extrapyramidal signs.

Dosage and Administration: Optimal results are obtained at about 150 mg./day. Dosage over 200-225 mg./day increases incidence of side effects. Norpramin may be administered as follows: two tablets (50 mg.) t.i.d. (150 mg./day). Partial response may be expected within 2-5 days; optimal response within 2-3 weeks. After optimal results are achieved a maintenance dose . . . 50-100 mg./day ... should be sought.

Supplied: Norpramin (desipramine hydrochloride) tablets of 25 mg., in bottles of 50 and 500.
