Paroxtime CR 12.5 – Paroxetine Hydrochloride Controlled Release Tablets IP – 1 x 10 Tablets Pack

Paroxtime CR 12.5 is a high-quality mental health medication marketed by STERIS Healthcare. Paroxetine works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a natural chemical messenger in the brain that helps maintain mental balance and positive mood.

It is clinically indicated for:

• Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): Helps alleviate persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest.

• Panic Disorder: Reduces the frequency and intensity of sudden, unexpected panic attacks.

• Social Anxiety Disorder: Assists patients in managing excessive fear or anxiety in social situations.

• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Helps control repetitive thoughts and behaviors.

• Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD): Eases severe emotional and physical symptoms before menstruation.

The Controlled Release (CR) mechanism is designed to be gentler on the digestive system and provides a consistent therapeutic effect compared to immediate-release versions.
