About this product

Overview

Paroxin 20mg Tablet contains Paroxetine, which is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used primarily to treat mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, and other related conditions.

  • Depression: Major depressive disorder (MDD).
  • Anxiety Disorders: Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), and panic disorder.
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Helps reduce persistent/unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and the urge to perform repeated tasks (compulsions).
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Helps manage symptoms of PTSD.
  • Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD): Reduces mood swings, irritability, and other symptoms associated with PMDD.
