Scientific Evidence:

Clomipramine, the active ingredient in Clofranil, is a tricyclic antidepressant that works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in regulating mood and emotions. By inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin, Clomipramine helps improve symptoms of OCD and depression.

Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of Clomipramine in the treatment of OCD. A meta-analysis published in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology found that Clomipramine was significantly more effective than a placebo in reducing OCD symptoms. Additionally, a study in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry showed that Clomipramine was well-tolerated and effective in the long-term treatment of OCD.
