SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.

Obtain an ECG and immediately initiate cardiac monitoring. Protect the patient's airway, establish an intravenous line, and initiate gastric decontamination. A minimum of 6 hours of observation with cardiac monitoring and observation for signs of CNS or respiratory depression, hypotension, cardiac dysrhythmias and/or conduction blocks, and seizures is necessary. If signs of toxicity occur at any time during this period, extended monitoring is required. Follow ECG, renal function, CPK, and arterial blood gasses as clinically indicated. (L1712)

Concurrent use /of thyroid hormones/ with tricyclic antidepressants may increase the therapeutic and toxic effects of both medications, possibly due to increased receptor sensitivity to catecholamines; toxic effects include cardiac arrhythmias and CNS stimulation. /Tricyclic antidepressants/

Concurrent use /of sympathomimetics/ with tricyclic antidepressants may potentiate cardiovascular effects possibly resulting in arrhythmias, tachycardia, or severe hypertension or hyperpyrexia; phentolamine can control the adverse reaction. Significant systemic absorption of ophthalmic epinephrine may also potentiate cardiovascular effects; also, local anesthetics with vasoconstrictors should be avoided or a minimal amount of the vasoconstrictor should be used with the local anesthetic. Concurrent use with tricyclic antidepressants may decrease the pressor effect of ephedrine and mephentermine. /Tricyclic antidepressants/

If significant systemic absorption occurs, concurrent use /of ophthalmic naphazoline, nasal or ophthalmic oxymetazoline, nasal or ophthalmic phenylephrine, or nasal xylometazoline/ with tricyclic antidepressants may potentiate pressor effects of these medications. /Tricyclic antidepressants/

Liver test abnormalities have been reported to occur in up to 16% of patients being treated with tricyclic antidepressants, but elevations are uncommonly above 3 times the upper limit of normal. The aminotransferase abnormalities are usually mild, asymptomatic and transient, reversing even with continuation of medication and without dose adjustment. Rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury have been reported due to desipramine, but far fewer than have been reported with amitriptyline or imipramine. The onset of jaundice is usually within 1 to 8 weeks of starting the antidepressant, and the pattern of serum enzyme elevations can be either hepatocellular or cholestatic. Features suggestive of hypersensitivity (fever, rash, eosinophilia) are common, but rarely severe. Autoantibody formation is unusual. These features are typical of tricyclic antidepressant hepatotoxicity.

Desipramine has a broad toxic profile, including an increased risk of suicide, orthostatic hypotension, cardiac abnormalities, seizures, ocular crisis, and fractures. A short-term study demonstrated a significantly increased risk of suicide in children, adolescents, and young adults aged 24 and younger; this represents one of the most significant adverse effects to consider when prescribing desipramine. Orthostatic hypotension, likely due to alpha-1 receptor blockade, is a common reason for drug discontinuation. Reports describe cardiovascular adverse effects, including heart block, arrhythmias, and sudden death associated with desipramine. Clinicians should screen for conduction abnormalities, with particular attention to the QT interval and family history of cardiac disease, before prescribing desipramine.

Signs and Symptoms of Overdose

Desipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) that selectively blocks reuptake of norepinephrine (noradrenaline) from the neuronal synapse. It also inhibits serotonin reuptake, but to a lesser extent compared to tertiary amine TCAs such as imipramine. Inhibition of neurotransmitter reuptake increases stimulation of the post-synaptic neuron. Chronic use of desipramine also leads to down-regulation of beta-adrenergic receptors in the cerebral cortex and sensitization of serotonergic receptors. An overall increase in serotonergic transmission likely confers desipramine its antidepressant effects. Desipramine also possesses minor anticholinergic activity, through its affinity for muscarinic receptors. TCAs are believed to act by restoring normal levels of neurotransmitters via synaptic reuptake inhibition and by increasing serotonergic neurotransmission via serotonergic receptor sensitization in the central nervous system.

QN - Nervous system

Desipramine, a secondary amine tricyclic antidepressant, is structurally related to both the skeletal muscle relaxant cyclobenzaprine and the thioxanthene antipsychotics such as thiothixene. It is the active metabolite of imipramine, a tertiary amine TCA. The acute effects of desipramine include inhibition of noradrenaline re-uptake at noradrenergic nerve endings and inhibition of serotonin (5-hydroxy tryptamine, 5HT) re-uptake at the serotoninergic nerve endings in the central nervous system. Desipramine exhibits greater noradrenergic re-uptake inhibition compared to the tertiary amine TCA imipramine. In addition to inhibiting neurotransmitter re-uptake, desipramine down-regulates beta-adrenergic receptors in the cerebral cortex and sensitizes serotonergic receptors with chronic use. The overall effect is increased serotonergic transmission. Antidepressant effects are typically observed 2 - 4 weeks following the onset of therapy though some patients may require up to 8 weeks of therapy prior to symptom improvement. Patients experiencing more severe depressive episodes may respond quicker than those with mild depressive symptoms.

Desipramine is extensively metabolized in the liver by CYP2D6 (major) and CYP1A2 (minor) to 2-hydroxydesipramine, an active metabolite. 2-hydroxydesipramine is thought to retain some amine reuptake inhibition and may possess cardiac depressant activity. The 2-hydroxylation metabolic pathway of desipramine is under genetic control.

DESIPRAMINE

Established Pharmacologic Class [EPC] - Tricyclic Antidepressant

Desipramine is a Tricyclic Antidepressant.

DESIPRAMINE

Tricyclic Antidepressant [EPC]

Substances that contain a fused three-ring moiety and are used in the treatment of depression. These drugs block the uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin into axon terminals and may block some subtypes of serotonin, adrenergic, and histamine receptors. However, the mechanism of their antidepressant effects is not clear because the therapeutic effects usually take weeks to develop and may reflect compensatory changes in the central nervous system.

Compounds or agents that combine with an enzyme in such a manner as to prevent the normal substrate-enzyme combination and the catalytic reaction.

Drugs that block the transport of adrenergic transmitters into axon terminals or into storage vesicles within terminals. The tricyclic antidepressants (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, TRICYCLIC) and amphetamines are among the therapeutically important drugs that may act via inhibition of adrenergic transport. Many of these drugs also block transport of serotonin.

Desipramine hydrochloride is rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. It undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism. Peak plasma concentrations are attained 4 - 6 hours following oral administration.

Desipramine is metabolized in the liver, and approximately 70% is excreted in the urine.

Antidepressant

For relief of symptoms in various depressive syndromes, especially endogenous depression. It has also been used to manage chronic peripheral neuropathic pain, as a second line agent for the management of anxiety disorders (e.g. panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder), and as a second or third line agent in the ADHD management.
