Depricap Tablet Uses

Depricap tablet is an antidepressant that is primarily used for the treatment of depression. It is also used to treat other mental health issues, such as anxiety, fear, panic attacks, eating disorders like bulimia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. It can improve your mood, boost energy, enhance sleep, and increase appetite by balancing serotonin levels in the body. It may take a few weeks before the medication starts becoming effective.

Depricap capsule contains Fluoxetine which belongs to the drug class known as serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It raises the serotonin levels in your body and promotes mental well-being. Serotonin is a natural mood stabilizer, also referred to as the "feel good hormone.

Antidepressants like Depricap can improve your quality of life and remove negative thoughts that may make you feel low or suicidal.
