Medical Description

Spectra 10 mg Capsule is an antidepressant medication used to treat depression and anxiety in those intolerant to other antidepressants. Insomnia and panic disorder treatment are some other uses of Spectra 10 mg capsule. Spectra 10 mg capsule contains doxepin, a tricyclic antidepressant that acts by raising the levels of GABA-related chemicals in the brain, which are responsible for mood swings and sadness. Mood improves as a result, and the affected person feels better. Directions of use of Spectra 10 mg capsule should be strictly followed. Suddenly stopping Spectra 10 mg capsules may result in withdrawal symptoms like suicidal thoughts, impatience, and extreme aggression, which can be fatal. Persons with a history of kidney or liver illness should inform the doctor before taking this medicine.
