Desipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant used to treat depression and other mental health conditions. It is also used to treat gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, functional dyspepsia, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Desipramine is a potent inhibitor of the reuptake of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter involved in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility. It is thought to reduce symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders by increasing the availability of norepinephrine in the gut. Desipramine is available in both generic and brand-name formulations. It is available in tablet, capsule, and liquid forms. It is typically taken orally, but can also be administered intravenously. Desipramine is generally well-tolerated, but can cause side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, and drowsiness. It is important to discuss any potential side effects with a healthcare provider before taking desipramine. Companies in the desipramine market include Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Novartis, and Teva Pharmaceuticals. Show Less Read more
