What the Health Canada label says it is for
1 INDICATIONS APO-IMIPRAMINE TABLETS (imipramine hydrochloride tablets) is indicated for: • The relief of symptoms of depressive illness. As with other tricyclic antidepressants, APO-IMIPRAMINE TABLETS may precipitate hypomanic episodes in patients with bipolar depression. These drugs are not indicated in mild depressive states and depressive reactions. 1.1 Pediatrics Pediatrics (<18 years of age): No data are available to Health Canada; therefore, Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use. 1.2 Geriatrics Geriatrics (≥65 years of age): Evidence from clinical studies and experience suggests that use in the geriatric population is associated with differences in safety or effectiveness. See 4.2 Recommended Dose and Dosage Adjustment and 7.1.4 Geriatrics. https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00081234.PDF PM date: JUL 25, 2025 Source product: APO-IMIPRAMINE TABLETS; DIN 00312797; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.
