Product Details

Belexa Tablets 10mg are a type of antidepressant that belongs to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) class. These tablets are formulated to influence brain chemicals called amines, which play a key role in regulating mood. By helping to balance serotonin levels in the brain, Belexa Tablets are effective in treating symptoms of depression, promoting a more stable and positive mental state.

Purposes

The primary use of Belexa Tablets is to treat depression. They work by enhancing the activity of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that contributes to feelings of well-being and happiness. This medication is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, or other depressive symptoms, aiding in the restoration of emotional balance.

Warnings

Belexa Tablets should be used with caution, especially in patients with a history of seizures, mania, or diabetes. If seizures occur for the first time or increase in frequency, the medication should be discontinued. Additionally, patients with controlled epilepsy should be closely monitored. Those with a history of mania or hypomania should also be carefully observed, as SSRIs like Belexa can potentially trigger a manic episode. In diabetic patients, Belexa Tablets may affect blood sugar levels, necessitating adjustments in insulin or oral hypoglycemic dosages.

Adverse Effects

While Belexa Tablets are generally well-tolerated, some users may experience side effects such as decreased appetite, dry mouth, diarrhea, nausea, insomnia, fatigue, drowsiness, and increased sweating. Sexual disturbances, such as decreased libido or difficulties with sexual function, may also occur. It is important to discuss any persistent or severe side effects with your healthcare provider.

Cautions

Before starting Belexa Tablets, inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking, as drug interactions can occur, especially with other antidepressants, antipsychotics, NSAIDs, and certain heart medications. Patients with panic disorders may experience increased anxiety at the beginning of treatment, so a low starting dose is recommended. Always store Belexa Tablets at room temperature, away from direct light and heat, and consult your doctor before using this medication if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
