Desipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) primarily used to treat major depressive disorder. It acts mainly as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. While it has been largely replaced by newer antidepressants, desipramine is still approved and in use for depression and sometimes off-label for neuropathic pain and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Pharmacokinetics
Population pharmacokinetics in healthy adult volunteers (mixed sex), oral administration.
