Frext Cr 100mg Tablet
Frext Cr 100 MG Description
Frext CR100 tablet is an antidepressant medication used in the treatment of depressive disorders, anxiety, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Depressive disorder is a long-term
disorder characterised by feelings of anger, rage, grief, and melancholy. A panic attack causes a sudden episode of intense fear that triggers severe physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause. OCD is characterised by excessive thinking that leads to repetitive behaviour. Frext CR 100 tablets contain Fluvoxamine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). The mode of action of Frext CR100 is by boosting serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Serotonin is known to enhance mood, cognition, and memory. This action improves sleep and mood and relieves anxiety and tension in the user. Directions for use of Frext CR100 should be strictly followed. This prescription takes 4-6 weeks to work and should not be stopped mid-treatment. Before starting treatment with Frext CR100, it is important to inform the treating doctor of the user's complete medical history and all medications currently taken so that they can be checked for any interactions. Side effects of Frext CR100 include drowsiness, delayed ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, low sexual desire, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, restlessness, fatigue, dry mouth, indigestion, loss of appetite, increased sweating, nervousness, and tremors. Most of these side effects do not require medical care and will go away over time.
