Introduction to OPIRAPROL 100

OPIRAPROL 100 is a prescription medication formulated with Opipramol Dihydrochloride 100 mg, a tricyclic anxiolytic agent. Unlike conventional antidepressants, opipramol primarily acts as an anti-anxiety medication with additional mood-stabilizing properties.

OPIRAPROL 100 is commonly recommended by psychiatrists and physicians for managing generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), somatoform disorders, and anxiety associated with depression. Its balanced efficacy and relatively favorable safety profile make it a preferred option for long-term anxiety management.

Composition of OPIRAPROL 100

• Active Ingredient: Opipramol Dihydrochloride

• Strength: 100 mg

• Dosage Form: Oral Tablet

Each tablet of OPIRAPROL 100 delivers a precise dose of opipramol dihydrochloride to ensure consistent therapeutic effects.

What is Opipramol Dihydrochloride?

Opipramol Dihydrochloride is a tricyclic compound with strong anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) properties. Although structurally related to tricyclic antidepressants, opipramol works differently by primarily interacting with sigma receptors in the brain rather than inhibiting serotonin or noradrenaline reuptake.

This unique mechanism allows it to relieve anxiety, inner tension, and psychosomatic symptoms without causing excessive sedation or dependency when used as prescribed.

OPIRAPROL 100 exerts its therapeutic effects through:

• Modulation of sigma-1 and sigma-2 receptors in the central nervous system

• Reduction of psychological tension and emotional stress

By calming excessive neural activity, OPIRAPROL 100 helps patients feel relaxed, emotionally stable, and mentally balanced.
