Description

Rexipra Forte tablet is a prescription medication commonly used in the treatment of anxiety and mood disorders. It is a combination of two medicines: clonazepam and escitalopram. Clonazepam is a tran

quilliser (medicines that reduce anxiety and fear). Escitalopram is an antidepressant and helps in stabilising mood. Anxiety is a mood disorder that affects how one feels. It can sometimes be accompanied by depression. The mode of action of Rexipra Forte tablets is by reducing the excess activity of nerves in the brain and consequently stabilising mood. It can also produce a calming effect and sedation in the affected person. Directions for use of Rexipra Forte tablets should be strictly followed. The dose and duration of this medicine should be carefully monitored, especially in older adults with liver and kidney disorders. This medicine can cause dependency if used for a long time. It is crucial to inform the treating doctor of the complete medical history and medication taken, as these can interact with Rexipra Forte tablets and cause side effects. Drowsiness, tiredness, nausea, and diarrhoea are some common side effects of Rexipra Forte tablets.
