Tofranil is used to treat depression. It is a member of the
family of drugs called tricyclic antidepressants. Tofranil is also
used on a short-term basis, along with behavioral therapies, to
treat bed-wetting in children aged 6 and older. Its effectiveness
may decrease with longer use. Some doctors also prescribe Tofranil
to treat bulimia, attention deficit disorder in children,
obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic disorder. Tofranil-PM,
which is usually taken once daily at bedtime, is approved to treat
major depression.
