 | 
| Pharmacology: | Desipramine, a tertiary amine tricyclic antidepressant, is structurally related to both the skeletal muscle relaxant cyclobenzaprine and the thioxanthene
 antipsychotics such as thiothixene. Desipramine is used to treat depression, pain of
 neuropathic origin, attention_deficit hyperactivity disorder, functional enuresis in
 children, panic and phobic disorder, and to manage some eating disorders.
 Desipramine inhibits the re-uptake of noradrenaline at the noradrenergic nerve
 endings and the re-uptake of serotonin (5-hydroxy tryptamine) at the serotoninergic
 nerve endings in the central nervous system. These two effects are considered to be
 the likely base of the antidepressant effect of Desipramine. The drug also has a
 strong anticholinergic effect and serves as an antagonist on a1 and H1 receptors.
 | 
| Mechanism_of_action: | Desipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant that selectively blocks reuptake of norepinephrine (noradrenaline) from the neural synapse. It also appears to impair
 serotonin transport. Desipramine also possesses minor anticholinergic activity,
 through its affinity to muscarinic receptors. Evidence also suggests that
 Desiprmaine binds to and down regulates histamine and beta adrenergic receptors.
 Tricyclic drugs are believed to act by restoring normal levels of neurotransmitters
 by blocking the re-uptake of these substances from the synapse in the central
 nervous system.
