Sommeil 0.5mg Tablets
Description
Sommeil 0.5 mg Tablet is a prescription medication. It is used in the treatment of various mood disorders such as anxiety disorders and depression. All mood disorders affect the way one processes the
ir feelings. There is no certain reason behind them, and sometimes common emotional reactions like worry, anger, etc., can trigger them. Reducing the frequency of epilepsy (seizures) is another use of Sommeil Tablets. The main element of the Sommeil Tablet is clonazepam. The mode of action of Sommeil Tablets is by decreasing the excessive excitability of the nerve cells in the brain. It functions by balancing certain chemical messengers and generating sensations of calm and well-being. The dosage of Sommeil 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 Sommeil Tablets. Abruptly discontinuing Sommeil Tablets can result in withdrawal symptoms like tremors, sweating, sickness, muscle ache, etc.
