Idanpramine works by increasing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that help elevate mood. These chemicals include [[serotonin]] and [[norepinephrine]], which are known as neurotransmitters. By increasing the levels of these neurotransmitters, Idanpramine can help to alleviate the symptoms of depression and anxiety.
'''Idanpramine''' is a pharmaceutical compound used primarily in the treatment of [[gastrointestinal disorders]]. It is classified as an [[antispasmodic]] agent, which means it helps to relieve [[muscle spasms]] in the [[gastrointestinal tract]].

==Clinical Uses==
Idanpramine is primarily used in the management of conditions such as [[irritable bowel syndrome]] (IBS) and other functional gastrointestinal disorders.
