Depression of varying origin
In children and adolescents, there is not sufficient evidence of safety and efficacy of Anafranil
in the treatment of depressive states of varying aetiology and symptomatology. The use of
Anafranil in children and adolescents (0-17 years of age) in this indication is therefore not
recommended.
Obsessive-compulsive syndromes
No experience is available in children younger than 5 years of age.
