DEPRID 75MG TABLET

DEPRID 75MG TABLET belongs to a group of medicines called 'tricyclic anti-depressants' used to treat depression. Additionally, DEPRID 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.
 
DEPRID 75MG TABLET contains ‘Imipramine’, which increases the activity of certain natural substances (neurotransmitters) in the brain required for mental balance, thereby regulating mood and treating depression. It also reduces childhood enuresis or bed-wetting in the children older than 6-7 years of age by relaxing the urinary bladder muscle, which lightens the sleep.
