DEPRANIL 75MG TABLET

DEPRANIL 75MG TABLET belongs to a group of medicines called 'tricyclic anti-depressants' used to treat depression. Additionally, DEPRANIL 75MG TABLET is also used to treat bed-wetting at night in children aged 6 years and older. Depression is a mood disorder characterised by sadness, unhappiness, anger, hopelessness or loss that interferes with a person’s daily activities.
