It does not contain all the available information. It does not take the place of talking to your doctor or pharmacist. All medicines have risks and benefits.

KEEP THIS LEAFLET WITH THE MEDICINE. You may need to read it again. 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.
