About Sinequan (doxepin)
Sinequan belongs to a class of drugs called tricyclic antidepressants, which affect the balance of certain chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain.
Sinequan is used to treat depression and anxiety. Sinequan is available only by prescription. It is also available in a generic formulation known as doxepin.
Sinequan may be prescribed as an oral capsule or oral concentrate. It’s always important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription, as they can vary based on the formulation and dosage prescribed.
If you're prescribed Sinequan, be sure to complete the full course of the tricyclic antidepressant unless your doctor specifically tells you to stop. If you don’t complete your prescription, the tricyclic antidepressant may not fully treat your depression or anxiety.
