About this product

Overview

Paromax CR 25mg Tablet is a prescription medication used primarily in the treatment of various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and panic disorder. It contains Paroxetine as its active ingredient, belonging to a class of medications known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). SSRIs work by increasing the levels of serotonin, a natural substance in the brain that helps maintain mental balance and improve mood.

Active Ingredient

  • Paroxetine: A selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor that enhances serotonin levels in the brain, aiding in the improvement of mood and alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Uses

  • Depression: Paromax CR 25mg Tablet is effective in treating major depressive episodes, improving mood, and relieving symptoms of depression.
  • Anxiety Disorders: It is used to treat various forms of anxiety disorders, including social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and panic disorder.
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Paromax CR helps reduce the symptoms of OCD, such as unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors.
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): It is prescribed for managing PTSD, helping alleviate intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and flashbacks associated with traumatic events.
  • Panic Disorder: Paromax CR can reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks and associated symptoms.

Dosage and Administration

  • It is usually taken orally once daily in the morning with food.
