Zaptra 12.5mg Strip Of 10 Tablets Description

Zaptra is a prescription tablet manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd. It is from the drug class of antidepressants and is used to treat depression. Zaptra tablets contain paroxetine (12.5 mg) an

d clonazepam (0.5 mg). Depression is a mood condition in which a person's daily activities are disrupted by feelings of melancholy, dissatisfaction, anger, hopelessness, or loss. Depression has no established cause; however, it has been linked to mental health issues, trauma, family history, drug use, and physiological diseases. Some chronic health conditions and relationships can be influenced by depression. Zaptra is a combination medication that enhances mood by raising the level of chemical messengers in the brain. It also soothes the brain by reducing nerve cell activity that is excessive or abnormal. This medicine should not be taken without the consultation of a doctor. This medicine should be taken at the same time of the day with or without food and should not be skipped, even after the resolution of the symptoms. Zaptra has a habit-forming tendency, so it should not be abused. Even if you feel better, do not stop taking it until your doctor recommends you to. Sudden stoppage can lead to serious health issues.
