Clinical studies show that a single daily administration of Norpramin is as effective and well tolerated as the same quantity given as a divided dosage. This means that Norpramin may be given once daily, morning or bedtime, whichever is most appropriate to the patient's therapeutic need, drug response and activity patterns. A.M. dosage of Norpramin can be especially useful when your depressed patient feels more depressed in the early morning. Morning administration may also help reduce the potential for confusion when other agents are prescribed concomitantly at bedtime. For those patients who experience a sedative response to Norpramin, a bedtime dose is most appropriate. Evening administration of Norpramin rarely produces morning hangover. Minimal daytime drowsiness - permits an active schedule. With Norpramin, problems of daytime drowsiness and morning hangover are largely avoided. Minimal daytime drowsiness can be especially important for patients who must perform daytime activities at home or at work. Early therapeutic response - builds hope and provides encouragement. While full therapeutic effect may require two to three weeks, onset of action has often been observed in two to five days. Although results have been variable, the weight of scientific reports suggest a faster onset of action with desipramine than with either imipramine or amitriptyline. Norpramin (desipramine hydrochloride tablet NF) 25 mg, 50 mg tablets lightens and brightens the days of your depressed patients - more conveniently. |
