Panazep 12.5 Tablet ER

Panazep 12.5 Tablet ER is a prescription medicine used to treat depression by helping improve mood and calm the mind. It works by increasing the levels of certain chemical messengers in the brain that enhance feelings of wellbeing while reducing abnormal overactivity of nerve cells. The tablet can be taken with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day to maintain a steady level of medicine in the blood. The dose and duration should always be followed as prescribed by your doctor because this medicine can be habit-forming. Skipping doses should be avoided, but if a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered. It is important to complete the full course of treatment even if you start feeling better, and the medicine should not be stopped suddenly as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, confusion, memory issues, low sexual desire, and delayed ejaculation. The tablet may also cause dizziness and drowsiness, so it is important to avoid driving or performing tasks that require alertness until you know how the medicine affects you. Any unusual changes in mood, worsening depression, or thoughts of self-harm should be reported to your doctor immediately. Patients with liver disease should take extra caution, and all other medications being taken should be discussed with a doctor, as they can interfere with how this medicine works. Pregnant women, those planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding mothers should consult their healthcare provider before taking this tablet.

Panazep 12.5 Tablet ER works by combining two medicines, paroxetine and clonazepam. Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor that increases serotonin levels in the brain, improving mood, while clonazepam, a benzodiazepine, enhances the action of GABA, a chemical messenger that calms overactive nerve cells. This combination helps relieve anxiety, improve sleep, increase energy levels, and enhance overall wellbeing.

Most side effects are temporary and resolve as the body adjusts, but persistent or concerning symptoms should be discussed with a doctor. Some of the effects people may notice include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, confusion, memory problems, uncoordinated movements, drowsiness, tiredness, low sexual desire, delayed ejaculation, dry mouth, and constipation. The tablet should always be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed, and consistency in taking it at the same time each day is recommended.

Alcohol should be avoided while using Panazep 12.5 Tablet ER. The medicine is highly unsafe during pregnancy, and potential risks to a breastfeeding infant should be discussed with a doctor. Patients may experience side effects affecting alertness and driving ability, so caution is advised. In individuals with kidney disease, the medicine is generally safe if prescribed, but excessive sleepiness may occur in severe cases. Liver disease patients should use this medicine carefully, and dose adjustments may be necessary. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible unless the next dose is near, in which case the missed dose should be skipped rather than doubled.
