Desipramine and testicular swelling in two patients.
Two patients are described who developed testicular swelling and pain during treatment with desipramine. The symptoms disappeared when desipramine was discontinued and in one case returned when desipramine treatment was reinitiated. The observations suggest that testicular swelling and pain are side effects of desipramine.
