Test Overview & Methodology
The Clomipramine (Anafranil) Therapeutic Drug Monitoring test precisely quantifies serum drug levels using liquid chromatography‑tandem mass spectrometry (LC‑MS/MS), guiding psychiatrists and general practitioners in optimising doses for depression, OCD, and related conditions.
| Feature | Our Test (LC‑MS/MS) | Alternative (Immunoassay) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Mass‑level discrimination, no cross‑reactivity with metabolites | Cross‑reactivity possible; less specific for tricyclics |
| Methodology | Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC‑MS/MS) | Enzyme‑linked immunoassay (EIA/CLIA) |
| Speed (Batch) | 2‑3 weeks from monthly cut‑off (7th of month) | 1‑2 days (may lack clinical adequacy for dose titration) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As your treating physician, I recognise that managing clomipramine levels requires both clinical precision and human empathy. This test provides accurate data to guide dose adjustments, but it must be interpreted alongside your symptoms, side effects, and ECG findings. Dr. Ajay Singh (DHA Licence: 36234132) advises against interpreting results in isolation. Reach out to our team for a personalised review; your peace of mind is part of the treatment.”
Medication Warning
⚠️ Medication Warning
Do not discontinue, adjust, or skip doses of clomipramine without consulting your prescribing psychiatrist. Abrupt cessation may lead to withdrawal symptoms, relapse, or serotonin syndrome.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: severe hepatic insufficiency, acute intoxication, or known hypersensitivity to clomipramine.

- 🚨 Red Flags: sudden suicidal ideation, confusion, seizures, hyperthermia, or symptoms of serotonin syndrome (agitation, tachycardia, rigidity) require ER visit, not a routine TDM test.
