Description

DOSULEPIN belongs to the class of tricyclic antidepressants. It is primarily used to treat depression that is unresponsive to other antidepressants or any other alternative treatment. It is also used to treat disorders related to anxiety. Depression is a mood disorder that affects day to day life of a person. A person may have symptoms such as feeling sad or feeling of loss and might have mood swings. Anxiety is defined as an emotion that is characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and symptoms like increased blood pressure. Anxiety disorder also includes panic disorder which is characterized by sudden feelings of terror.

DOSULEPIN works by increasing the levels of chemical messengers which are responsible for stabilizing and elevating the mood levels in the brain. It also stops your brain from releasing the chemicals which cause anxiety. It provides relief from symptoms such as feelings of restlessness, irritability, tiredness, difficulty concentrating, feeling, and sleep disturbances. It helps to carry out daily activities easily.

DOSULEPIN should be taken in dose and duration as advised by the doctor and taking it before bedtime should be preferred as it can make you feel drowsy. It can be taken with or without food, but it should be taken at a fixed time each day. In some cases, you may experience increased heart rate, blurred vision, dizziness, dryness in the mouth and constipation. Most of these side effects of DOSULEPIN do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
