Paxidep CR 37.5 Tablet

Introduction
Paxidep CR 37.5 Tablet is an antidepressant medicine that belongs to the group known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It is often recommended for people suffering from depression, different types of anxiety problems, panic disorder, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. By balancing certain natural chemicals in the brain, this medicine helps improve mood, reduce nervous tension, and restore emotional stability.

How to Take
The tablet may be swallowed with or without food, preferably at the same time each day. The exact dose and frequency will be decided by your doctor after considering your condition. Treatment is usually started with a lower dose and gradually increased. Do not alter the dose or stop using it suddenly without medical advice, as this may worsen symptoms or lead to withdrawal effects such as restlessness, sleep disturbance, dizziness, or palpitations. Consistency is important, and it may take a few weeks before noticeable improvement is seen.

Benefits
This medicine helps people overcome the persistent sadness, low energy, and loss of interest seen in depression. It also brings relief from fear, tension, panic attacks, and compulsive thoughts, making day-to-day life easier. For panic disorder in particular, it reduces sudden feelings of terror, improves calmness, and enhances coping ability.

Possible Side Effects
Some people may experience nausea, dry mouth, dizziness, tiredness, reduced appetite, or sweating. Nervousness, tremors, or sleep difficulties can also occur. Certain sexual side effects like low desire, delayed ejaculation, or erectile problems are possible. In rare cases, confusion or sudden changes in mood may happen. Most of these effects improve as the body adjusts, but if they persist or become troublesome, medical advice should be sought.

Precautions
Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have a history of seizures, diabetes, eye problems such as glaucoma, liver or kidney concerns, or any heart-related issues. It is not considered safe in pregnancy, as it may harm the developing baby. Women who are breastfeeding should also seek medical guidance since small amounts of the drug may pass into milk. This medicine can cause drowsiness, dizziness, or blurred vision, so activities that require alertness, such as driving, should be avoided until you know how it affects you. Alcohol can worsen these effects and should not be consumed during treatment.

Kidney and Liver Considerations
People with kidney or liver disease may require special dose adjustments, so regular consultation with the doctor is advised.

Missed Dose
If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next scheduled dose, skip the forgotten one and continue as usual. Never take two doses at the same time.

How It Works
Paxidep CR 37.5 Tablet works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is a chemical messenger responsible for regulating mood, emotions, and behavior. By improving the availability of this chemical, the medicine helps lift mood, reduce anxiety, and bring relief from depression and panic-related problems.
