Product Overview:
Uvox CR 150 Tablet is an extended-release antidepressant that belongs to the class of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It is primarily prescribed to manage depression by helping improve mood and emotional well-being. Additionally, it is used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

This medication can be taken with or without food, based on your healthcare provider’s instructions. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and frequency according to your symptoms and response. Treatment usually starts with a low dose, which may be gradually increased. It is important not to alter the dose or discontinue the medicine without consulting your doctor, as this could worsen your condition or lead to withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, restlessness, dizziness, palpitations, or sleep disturbances.

For optimal results, take Uvox CR 150 Tablet consistently at the same time each day. Improvement may take several weeks, so continue taking the medication as prescribed and inform your doctor if symptoms do not improve after four weeks.

Compared to older antidepressants, Uvox CR 150 Tablet generally causes fewer side effects. However, some common reactions include nausea, vomiting, tiredness, dry mouth, sweating, tremors, insomnia, reduced sexual desire, delayed ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction. Some individuals may feel sleepy after taking this medication. Seek medical advice immediately if you experience a sudden worsening of mood or thoughts of self-harm.

Before using Uvox CR 150 Tablet, inform your healthcare provider if you have conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, kidney or liver problems, heart disease, or glaucoma.
