Uvox CR 100mg Tablet’1*10

Uvox CR 100mg Tablet is an extended-release antidepressant that falls under the category of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). It is commonly prescribed for managing depression and also for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The medication works by enhancing serotonin levels in the brain, a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in regulating mood and emotions.

This tablet can be taken with or without meals, based on your healthcare provider’s instructions. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage depending on your medical condition and response to the treatment. Typically, the treatment begins with a lower dose that may be adjusted gradually. It’s important to continue the medication even if you start to feel better. Stopping the medication without medical advice can lead to a relapse or withdrawal symptoms like irritability, anxiety, dizziness, irregular heartbeat, and sleep disturbances.

For best results, it’s recommended to take the medication at the same time each day. It may take several weeks before you notice improvement in your symptoms, so continue the treatment as prescribed. Inform your doctor if you do not observe any positive changes after a few weeks of regular use.

Compared to older antidepressants, Uvox CR 100mg is generally well-tolerated and associated with fewer side effects. However, some individuals may experience mild to moderate reactions such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, dry mouth, sweating, insomnia, drowsiness, reduced sexual desire, delayed ejaculation, or erectile issues. If you notice a sudden change in mood or suicidal thoughts, seek medical attention immediately.

Before starting this medication, let your doctor know if you have any existing conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, liver or kidney impairment, glaucoma, or any heart-related issues. Pregnant or nursing women should consult their doctor before using this medication. Additionally, inform your doctor about any other medications or supplements you are taking, as this medicine may interact with other antidepressants or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
