Clomipramine hydrochloride belongs to a group of medicines called "tricyclic antidepressants". This is thought to work either by increasing the amount of chemical "messengers" in the brain or by making their effects last longer. Clomipramine is a potent inhibitor of serotonin re-uptake in the brain. Significant antagonism at cholinergic and α1-receptors. Weak antagonism at dopamine receptors. It has also antidepressant, sedative and anticholinergic effects.
