Description
Depran L Tablet is a prescription medication commonly used for certain mood disorders, anxiety and comorbid depression (depression associated with other conditions). Mood disorders like anxiety, pani
c, etc., affect the way you feel. Major depressive disorder is also a mood disorder. The reasons behind them are mostly unknown, but it can be because of common triggers like stress, trauma, etc. Depran L Tablet has two active ingredients: Clonazepam and Escitalopram. Clonazepam is a tranquilliser. It belongs to a class of benzodiazepines (depressants). This medicine helps in stabilising mood and provides a calming effect. Escitalopram is an antidepressant medication. It increases the activity of a chemical substance in the body, which causes happy and well-being feelings. The dose of the Depran L Tablet should be carefully monitored, especially in older patients, patients with liver and kidney disorders. It should also be monitored because it can cause physical dependence and has habit-forming potential. You should inform your doctor of all the medications you are taking, as their interaction with Depran L can cause undesirable side effects.
