What does “imipramine” mean, and what other names does it go by?
Imipramine is the generic (non-brand) name of a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). It can also appear under alternative spellings or naming formats used in drug databases.
Common “names” you may see include:
- Imipramine (generic name)
- Imipramine hydrochloride (salt form, often used in tablet/capsule labeling)
Brand names and trade names for imipramine
The brand or trade name varies by country and manufacturer, so the exact list of brand names depends on where you’re looking (for example, the label language and local approvals). If you tell me your country (or share a label/photo text), I can narrow it to the specific brand names used there.
