Lexotanil Tablet Uses in Urdu
لیکسوٹانل ایک دوا ہے جو اضطراب، گھبراہٹ، اور نیند کی تکلیف کے علاج کے لیے تجویز کی جاتی ہے۔
یہ دوا دماغ میں ایک قدرتی کیمیکل "گابا" کے اثر کو بڑھا کر اعصابی نظام کو پرسکون کرتی ہے۔
ڈاکٹر اسے زیادہ تر قلیل مدتی علاج کے لیے تجویز کرتے ہیں، کیونکہ طویل استعمال سے عادت پڑ سکتی ہے۔
لیکسوٹانل پاکستان میں صرف ڈاکٹر کے نسخے پر دستیاب ہے، اس لیے اسے خود سے استعمال نہ کریں۔
اگر آپ کو سانس، جگر، یا ذہنی صحت سے متعلق کوئی مسئلہ ہے تو دوا شروع کرنے سے پہلے ڈاکٹر کو ضرور بتائیں۔
