Cilapam 5 MG Description

Cilapam Tablet is primarily used in the treatment of depression and other mental health conditions, including anxiety, panic disorder, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It is a type of antidep

ressant that belongs to the class of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI). Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest and can interfere with the daily functioning of the affected individual. Anxiety disorders include social phobia, specific phobias, generalised anxiety disorder, separation anxiety, and panic attacks. People with these disorders have intense, excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder characterised by obsessive thoughts causing repeated actions. The active ingredients in Cilapam tablets are clonazepam and escitalopram. The mode of action of Cilapam tablets is by increasing serotonin levels. Serotonin is a chemical messenger in the brain, responsible for uplifting the mood and relieving the physical symptoms of depression. This action of serotonin helps soothe the symptoms of anxiety, panic attacks, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Directions for use of Cilapam tablets should be strictly followed. Overdose of this medicine is possible when taken with other medicines with similar actions. Overdose can have dangerous side effects, such as increased serotonin levels, irregular heartbeat, sleeping for long, difficulty waking up, etc. People taking this medicine should be closely monitored for cardiac activity, body temperature, and blood pressure. It is crucial to inform the treating doctor of pregnancy while on this medication.
