About Panazep LS 12.5mg/0.25mg Tablet
Panazep LS 12.5mg/0.25mg Tablet is a prescription medicine prescribed to manage depression. It contains a combination of two active ingredients that help improve mood by enhancing certain chemical messengers in the brain, while also calming overactive nerve cells.

The tablet can be taken with or without food. For best results, it should be taken at a consistent time each day to maintain stable levels in the bloodstream. Always follow your doctor’s guidance regarding dosage and duration, as the medicine can be habit-forming. Avoid skipping doses, but if one is missed, take it as soon as you remember. Completing the entire course is important, even if you start feeling better. Do not stop the medicine suddenly to avoid withdrawal effects.
