Paraxyl CR Tablet Uses

Paraxyl CR tablet is an antidepressant that is used for the treatment of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. It contains Paroxetine as the active ingredient, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that works by restoring the balance of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a natural substance that can affect mood and may cause depression at below normal levels. Drugs like Paraxyl CR restore the chemical imbalances by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which helps in the treatment of mental issues like generalized anxiety disorder, and panic attacks.
