Description

Patinex 12.5 mg Tablet is an antidepressant that is used in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders like panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Patinex contains paroxetine as its

main active ingredient. Depression is a mood disorder that leads to the development of increased feelings of unhappiness or sadness. This can start affecting a person's daily life and requires medical attention. Patinex 12.5 mg Tabs work by increasing the levels of a chemical messenger in the brain known as serotonin. This improves mood and relieves the feeling of anxiety and tension. You may be started on a lower dosage initially, which can be increased later depending on your clinical condition. It is firmly advised to adhere to the dosage schedule of Patinex Tabs recommended by your doctor. Do not discontinue the medicine suddenly, as that can result in withdrawal symptoms.
