Description

Amipox H Tab is used in the treatment of moderate to severe depression and anxiety. Depression is a mental illness causing persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest. Anxiety

is a mental illness that causes the affected person to be fearful and worried without any particular reason. Both these disorders can disrupt everyday life. The active ingredients of Amipox H Tab are Amitriptyline and Chlordiazepoxide. Amitriptyline is a type of tricyclic antidepressant, and Chlordiazepoxide is a type of benzodiazepine. Both these ingredients act together to balance certain chemicals in the brain, producing a calming effect and relieving the symptoms of the disorder. Side effects of Amipox H Tab include drowsiness, dry mouth, headache, nausea, constipation, blurred vision, and urination difficulties. The doctor’s directions for use of Amipox H Tab should be strictly followed. It should be taken only on a doctor's prescription. Sudden discontinuation can worsen symptoms.
