Activity Description

Clomipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) that primarily exerts therapeutic effects through potent serotonin reuptake inhibition. This medication is FDA-approved to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in patients aged 10 and older. Clomipramine's off-label uses include depression, anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain. This educational activity reviews the indications, mechanism of action, administration methods, contraindications, pharmacokinetics, monitoring, and toxicity associated with clomipramine administration.

Understanding the pharmacology of clomipramine allows healthcare professionals to tailor treatment plans according to individual patient needs and provides a scientific basis for the practical management of OCD and related conditions. This activity emphasizes the role of the interprofessional healthcare team in managing clomipramine therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder. The goal is to equip healthcare professionals with essential knowledge and tools for effective patient care during clomipramine administration, thereby advancing patient outcomes and care standards. This knowledge facilitates informed decision-making in prescribing clomipramine and optimizing dosage regimens while minimizing adverse effects.
