Uvox 100 Tablet

Product Overview

Uvox 100 Tablet is an antidepressant medicine that belongs to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. It is primarily prescribed to treat depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The medication works by restoring the balance of serotonin, a natural substance in the brain, which helps improve mood and emotional state.

This tablet can be taken with or without meals. The exact dose and frequency depend on your individual health condition and should be determined by your doctor. Typically, treatment begins with a low dose, which may be gradually increased. It’s important not to adjust the dosage or stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor, even if you start to feel better. Stopping suddenly may cause withdrawal effects such as restlessness, palpitations, anxiety, or sleep problems.

To get the full benefit, take the tablet at the same time each day. It may take a few weeks before noticeable improvement is seen. If symptoms persist beyond four weeks, notify your healthcare provider.
