Product Details

Raxil-Cr 37.5 mg Tablets contain Paroxetine HCl, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used to manage a variety of mental health conditions. Raxil-Cr works by enhancing serotonergic activity in the brain, which helps to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin, a neurotransmitter linked to mood regulation.

Purposes

Raxil-Cr Tablets are primarily used for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). This medication may also be effective in managing symptoms of social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). By increasing serotonin levels in the brain, Raxil-Cr helps improve mood and reduce anxiety.

Warnings

1. Bone Fracture Risk: Use Raxil-Cr cautiously, especially during the initial stages of treatment, as SSRIs have been associated with an increased risk of bone fractures.

2. Renal and Hepatic Impairment: Exercise caution when using Raxil-Cr in patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment. Monitoring is advised.

3. Seizures: While rare, seizures may occur. Discontinue Raxil-Cr if any seizure activity is observed.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of  37.5 mg Tablets include headache, dizziness, and sleep disturbances such as insomnia or abnormal dreams. Other potential adverse effects include nausea, agitation, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Rare but serious side effects can include allergic reactions, seizures, and bone fractures. Consult a healthcare provider if any severe or persistent symptoms occur.

Cautions

Patients should be aware that Raxil-Cr may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior, particularly in children and adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder. Regular monitoring is essential. Additionally, avoid using Raxil-Cr in combination with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or within two weeks of discontinuing MAOIs. Always consult with a physician before starting or stopping Raxil-Cr, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding, or if there is any significant medical history. Store the medication at room temperature, away from direct light and heat, to ensure its effectiveness.
