Paroxetine Hydrochloride 20mg Tablets
SKU GME690Product Introduction
Paroxetine Hydrochloride 20mg tablet is an SSRI antidepressant for depression and selected anxiety-related disorders, including panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety, generalised anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. Response develops with regular treatment over several weeks.
How to use
Take the immediate-release tablet at a consistent daily time, usually in the morning, with or without food. Avoid abrupt cessation; the taper should reflect treatment duration, dose and previous withdrawal symptoms.
How it works
Inhibition of the serotonin transporter increases serotonin availability at synapses involved in mood and anxiety regulation.
Side effects
Nausea, sweating, sleep disturbance, dry mouth, constipation and sexual dysfunction may occur.
Important information
Tell your doctor about bipolar disorder, low sodium, glaucoma and other serotonergic medicines. Do not combine paroxetine with MAO inhibitors. It can reduce tamoxifen activation. New suicidal thoughts or major behavioural changes need urgent assessment.
Uses
- Major depressive disorder
- obsessive-compulsive disorder
- panic disorder
- social anxiety disorder
- generalised anxiety disorder
- post-traumatic stress disorder.
Benefits
Can reduce persistent depressive or anxiety symptoms and associated functional impairment over continued treatment.
Why is improvement not immediate?
Mood and anxiety responses usually develop over several weeks rather than after one tablet.
Can missed doses cause dizziness or electric-shock sensations?
Yes. Paroxetine can cause discontinuation symptoms after interruption or rapid reduction.
Does withdrawal mean it is addictive?
Discontinuation symptoms do not by themselves mean craving-based addiction, but gradual tapering is still important.
Can sexual function be affected?
Reduced desire, delayed orgasm or other sexual effects can occur and should be discussed.
Can it be taken with tamoxifen?
Paroxetine can reduce tamoxifen activation; the cancer team should select an appropriate alternative if needed.
What if I develop agitation, fever and muscle stiffness?
Seek urgent care for possible serotonin syndrome, especially after adding another serotonergic medicine.
Should pregnancy be planned in advance?
Yes. Discuss reproductive risks and alternatives without abruptly stopping treatment.
Does the same milligram amount make controlled-release tablets identical?
No. Release characteristics and conversion schedules differ.
