Medication for OCD(Best Medicine For OCD In India)

Medications that have been proven effective in both adults and children with OCD include Clomipramine, which is a member of an older class of “tricyclic” antidepressants, and several newer “selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors” (SSRIs).

SRIs often require higher daily doses in the treatment of OCD than depression and may take 8 to 12 weeks to start working, but some patients experience more rapid improvement.
