Meloprax 0.5 MG Description

Meloprax tablet is a prescription medication. It is used to manage mood disorders such as anxiety disorders and depression. All mood disorders affect the way one processes feelings. There is no speci

fic reason behind them, and sometimes common emotional reactions like worry, anger, etc., can trigger them. Reducing the frequency of epilepsy (seizures) is one of the main uses of Meloprax tablets. The main element of the Meloprax tablet is clonazepam. The mode of action of Meloprax tablets is by decreasing the excess action of exciting nerve cells in the brain. It functions by balancing certain chemical messengers and generating sensations of calm and well-being. The dosage of Meloprax tablets should be monitored as it may lead to physical dependence (return of symptoms when the medicine is stopped). These tablets can also generate behavioural changes, sudden mood changes, suicidal thoughts and tendencies. Somnolence, tiredness, dizziness, etc., are a few of the expected side effects of Meloprax tablets. Abruptly discontinuing Meloprax tablets can result in withdrawal symptoms like tremors, sweating, sickness, muscle ache, etc.
