Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Adults: Treatment should be initiated at a dosage of 25 mg daily and gradually increased, as tolerated, to approximately 100 mg during the first 2 weeks. During initial titration, the drug should be given in divided doses with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Thereafter, the dosage may be increased gradually over the next several weeks, up to a maximum of 250 mg daily.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
The effect of clomipramine, at concentrations of 10(-7)M to 10(-4)M, was studied in vitro on the uptake of 5-hydroxytryptamine and dopamine uptake in human platelet-rich plasma.
