NCIt definition : The hydrochloride salt form of cidoxepin, a psychotropic agent similar to doxepin
with potential antianxiety and antidepressant activities. Although its exact mechanism
of action has yet to be fully elucidated, cidoxepin may act similarly to doxepin.
Cidoxepin may inhibit the reuptake of serotonin and noradrenaline from the synaptic
cleft, thereby increasing their activity. This may account for its antianxiety and
antidepressant effects.;
