Clonil 25 Tablet

Product Overview
Clonil 25 Tablet belongs to a class of medicines known as tricyclic antidepressants. It is primarily used in adults for managing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Additionally, it is prescribed to treat cataplexy (a sudden loss of muscle control) that occurs with narcolepsy, a condition marked by sudden and uncontrollable episodes of sleep during the day. It may also be recommended for individuals dealing with depression that hasn’t improved with other treatments.

This medicine works by increasing certain natural substances in the brain that help maintain emotional balance and improve mood. It is usually advised to take Clonil 25 Tablet before bedtime because it can cause drowsiness. The medicine can be taken with or without meals, but taking it at the same time daily ensures better results. Your doctor will determine the right dosage and duration depending on your condition. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Do not stop taking the medicine abruptly as it may cause withdrawal effects; instead, the dose should be gradually reduced under medical supervision.

Possible Side Effects
Some common side effects include a fast heartbeat, constipation, blurred vision, and weight gain. It may also cause dizziness or a sudden drop in blood pressure when moving from a sitting or lying position to standing. Because of these effects, avoid driving or doing tasks that require full alertness until you know how the medicine affects you. Most side effects are temporary and mild, but if they persist or become severe, seek medical advice promptly.

Important Precautions
Before starting this medication, inform your doctor about any other medicines you are taking or health conditions you have. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this medicine only under strict medical guidance. Clonil 25 is not habit-forming, but stopping it suddenly can cause unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. If you experience sudden mood changes, suicidal thoughts, or self-harm tendencies, seek immediate medical attention. Taking more than the prescribed dose can lead to serious health complications.
