CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION
What is in this leaflet
This leaflet answers some common questions about Endep. It does not contain all the available information. It does not take the place of talking to your doctor or pharmacist. All medicines have benefits and risks. Your doctor has weighed the risks of you taking Endep against the benefits they expect it will have for you.

What Endep is used for
Endep is used to treat depression. Endep 10 mg and Endep 25 mg tablets can be used at any stage in the treatment of depression. However, the highest strength Endep 50 mg, is approved only for the maintenance treatment of depression (after your symptoms have improved). Endep belongs to a group of medicines called tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). TCA medicines work by correcting the imbalance of certain chemicals in the brain. These chemicals, called amines, are involved in controlling mood. By correcting this imbalance, TCAs can help relieve the symptoms of depression. Endep can also be used to treat bed-wetting, provided that there is no physical cause for the problem (eg. problems with the bladder). Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Endep has been prescribed for you.
Your doctor may have prescribed Endep for another reason.
Endep is not approved for use in children and adolescents below 18 years of age for the treatment of depression.
The safe use and effectiveness of Endep in treating the above condition, for this age group, has not been established.
Endep is available only with a doctor's prescription.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure if you are taking, or have been taking a MAOI.
MAOIs are medicines used to treat depression and symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Examples of MAOIs are phenelzine (Nardil), tranylcypromine (Parnate), moclobemide (eg. Aurorix, Arima) and selegiline (Eldepryl, Selgene).
