Antidepressant medication Clofranil 25 is used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, panic attacks, and anxiety disorders. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental condition marked by excessive thoughts or ideas (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions).
