Name
Doxepin hydrochloride
Drug Entry
Doxepin

Doxepin is a psychotropic agent with antidepressant and anxiolytic properties.9 It is a tertiary amine that can be presented as (E) and (Z) stereoisomers with the (Z) stereoisomer corresponding to cidoxepin. Doxepin commonly produces a 5:1 (E):(Z) racemic mixture.8

In a strict sense, doxepin is not a tricyclic antidepressant but it is commonly associated with the class since it shares a lot of properties with members of the drug family including amitriptyline, clomipramine, desipramine, imipramine, nortriptyline, protriptyline and trimipramine.13

Doxepin was developed by Pfizer and FDA approved in 1969 as an antidepressant.11 However, in 2010 it was approved for the treatment of insomnia. The latter indication was presented by Pernix Therapeutics.12
