Depsol Forte 5 mg/25 mg Tablet

Product Overview
Depsol Forte 5 mg/25 mg Tablet is a prescription medication commonly used to manage depression. This medicine contains a combination of two active ingredients that work together to calm the brain by relaxing nerve cells and boosting the levels of certain natural substances that help stabilize mood.

How to Take
You can take Depsol Forte with or without meals, but it is best to take it at the same time every day to maintain a steady level of the medicine in your system. Follow your doctor’s dosage instructions carefully, as this medicine can be habit-forming. Do not stop taking it suddenly, as it may lead to withdrawal symptoms such as low mood, anxiety, or trouble sleeping. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but if it’s nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Avoid doubling the dose.

Possible Side Effects
Some common side effects may include constipation, difficulty urinating, weight gain, confusion, dizziness due to a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up, blurred vision, dry mouth, fatigue, and unsteady movements. Some individuals may also experience weight loss. If this happens, you may consult a dietitian to help manage your nutrition. Most side effects are mild and temporary, but if they persist or become bothersome, contact your doctor. Watch for any unusual mood changes, as this medicine can sometimes increase the risk of suicidal thoughts, especially when starting the treatment or changing the dose.

Precautions
If you have liver problems, kidney conditions, or any other medical issues, inform your doctor before starting this medication. Dose adjustments may be necessary, and regular check-ups, such as liver function tests, may be recommended. This medicine may interact with other drugs, so be sure to inform your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you are taking.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
This medication is generally not recommended during pregnancy due to potential risks to the baby. It may also pass into breast milk, so nursing mothers should consult a doctor before use.

Alcohol and Driving
Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Depsol Forte, as it can increase the risk of serious side effects. This medicine can cause drowsiness, dizziness, or blurred vision, which may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery safely.
