About this product
Overview
Duopram 10mg Tablet contains Escitalopram, which is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used to treat various psychiatric disorders, including depression, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and panic disorder. Escitalopram works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain, which helps regulate mood and reduce anxiety.
Features
- Antidepressant and Anxiolytic Action: Escitalopram is effective in treating depression and generalized anxiety disorder by enhancing serotonin levels in the brain, thereby improving mood and reducing anxiety.
- Once-Daily Dosage: Duopram 10mg Tablet is typically taken once daily, with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider.
- Well-Tolerated: Escitalopram is generally well-tolerated and has a lower incidence of side effects compared to other antidepressants.
Uses
- Depression: Duopram 10mg Tablet is indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), a mood disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities.

- Panic Disorder: Escitalopram may also be prescribed for the treatment of panic disorder, a type of anxiety disorder characterized by sudden and recurrent panic attacks.
Directions for Use
- Take one Duopram 10mg Tablet orally with a full glass of water, with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider.
