Newcita 10 MG Description

Newcita Tablet uses to treat depression and generalised anxiety disorder. It aids in the regulation of serotonin levels in the body. This is a type of medicine known as a selective serotonin reuptake

inhibitor (SSRIs). Serotonin levels are up when you take Newcita Tablet. Serotonin is a chemical messenger in the brain that helps to improve depression's mood and physical symptoms. Anxiety relief, panic attack relief, and relief of symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder are uses of Newcita. If taken in excess, this medication can induce suicidal thoughts and behaviours in teenagers, children and young adults. As a result, this medication should only be taken with a doctor's prescription. Also, Newcita interacts with alcohol by amplifying its side effects. If you have irregular heartbeats or are allergic to particular chemicals in the medicine, you should seek medical advice first. The side effects of Newcita include confusion, depression, drowsiness, dizziness, fainting, and headache. Furthermore, this medicine may be dangerous to a pregnant woman. The excess of this medication is eliminated in the urine, and the effects continue for around 4 to 8 hours. Within 2 to 3 hours after an oral dose, 15 to 60 minutes after an intramuscular dose, and two to three minutes after an intravenous dose, this medicine reaches its peak action.
