Clomipramine

Clomipramine is a medication primarily used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It belongs to a class called tricyclic antidepressants, which help balance chemicals in the brain that affect mood and behavior. By increasing certain neurotransmitters, clomipramine can reduce obsessive thoughts and repetitive actions. It may also be prescribed for depression or other anxiety disorders. Like all medications, it can cause side effects, so it should be taken under medical supervision. It typically takes several weeks to see full benefits, and dosage is carefully adjusted by a healthcare provider.
