WHAT PAROXETINE-DP IS USED
FOR
The name of your medicine is
Paroxetine-DP. It contains the
active ingredient paroxetine
hydrochloride.
It belongs to a group of medicines
called selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors
(SSRIs).
It
works
by
inhibiting
the
neuronal
uptake
of
serotonin
in
the
central
nervous
system. Serotonin is one of several
brain
chemicals
called
amines
which
are
involved
in
controlling
mood.
Depression is longer lasting and/or
more severe than the "low moods"
everyone has from time to time due
to the stress of everyday life. It is
thought to be caused by a chemical
imbalance
in
parts
of
the
brain.
This imbalance affects your whole
body and can cause emotional and
physical symptoms such as feeling
low in spirit, loss of interest in usual
activities, being unable to enjoy life,
poor
appetite
or
overeating,
disturbed
sleep,
often
waking
up
early,
loss
of
sex
drive,
lack
of
energy
and
feeling
guilty
over
nothing. Paroxetine-DP corrects the
chemical imbalance and so helps to
relieve
the
symptoms
of
depression.
Paroxetine-DP is also used to treat
•
Patients who may avoid and/or
are fearful of social situations.
•
Symptoms of panic attacks.
When taken regularly it will help
prevent the attacks.
•
Obsessive compulsive disorder
(OCD). The symptoms of OCD
vary from patient to patient.
Check with your doctor if you
need more information.
