Maprotiline is a tetracyclic antidepressant, primarily used for the treatment of depressive disorders, especially major depressive disorder and associated anxiety. It inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine and, to a lesser extent, serotonin. Its use has declined in favor of newer antidepressants due to safety concerns, but it is still approved and used in some countries.
