Depran forte tablet is a prescription medication given to manage anxiety disorders. This is a combination medication and contains two salts that work by calming the brain and decreasing excessive exc

itability and activity of the nerve cells. Depran forte also increases the chemical levels in the brain that improve the mood. Anxiety can be interpreted as a feeling of fear or worry about what’s about to happen. Some people may develop an anxiety disorder where they experience excessive tension and unrealistic worry for little or no reason. This medication should be taken according to the same schedule every day to maintain a consistent level of the medication in your brain. It is vital to take the medication as per the doctor’s advice. Follow the prescribed dosage and do not stop the medication suddenly as it can cause withdrawal symptoms. It is not recommended to increase or decrease the medication dosage by yourself as it is habit-forming. Some common side effects of the medication include confusion, memory impairment, drowsiness, double vision, nausea, vomiting, low sexual desire, tiredness, diarrhoea, etc. These side effects are minor and usually resolve on their own.
