NCIt definition : The hydrochloride salt form of clomipramine, a tertiary amine salt derivative of dibenzazepine.
Clomipramine hydrochloride is a tricyclic antidepressant that acts by reducing the
re-uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin in the central nervous system, thereby enhancing
the effects of these neurotransmitters. This drug also binds to alpha-adrenergic,
histaminergic, and cholinergic receptors which are responsible for the many side effects
seen with this agent.;
