Product introduction
Vantaxa 20mg Tablet is prescribed for the treatment of depression in adults. It belongs to a class of medicines known as serotonin modulators and stimulators (SMS). This medication helps enhance mood, boost energy levels, and reduce feelings of sadness and worthlessness often associated with depression.

You can take Vantaxa 20mg Tablet with or without meals, but it is best to take it at the same time every day for maximum effectiveness. The dosage and duration will be decided by your doctor depending on your condition and response to the treatment. The dose may be increased gradually. If this medicine causes difficulty sleeping, taking it in the morning may be helpful. It might take a few weeks before you notice any improvement, so continue taking it even if you don’t feel better immediately. Do not stop taking the medicine or change the dosage without consulting your doctor, as it may lead to a worsening of your symptoms or withdrawal effects. If you don’t notice improvement after about four weeks, speak to your doctor.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and constipation. These are usually mild and temporary. If they persist or cause discomfort, consult your doctor, who may suggest ways to reduce them. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you understand how the medicine affects you.

Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have conditions like epilepsy, diabetes, heart issues, kidney or liver problems, glaucoma, bipolar disorder, or a history of substance abuse. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also seek medical advice before use. Vantaxa 20mg Tablet may interact with other medicines, especially antidepressants or MAO inhibitors, so it’s important to share your current medication list with your doctor.
