Paroxetine is a commonly used antidepressant drug and is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It is used to treat a variety of mood problems, including depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Paroxetine can help improve mood swings, lift your mood, and reduce feelings of anxiety and fear. In Hong Kong, this medication usually requires a doctor's prescription and should be used according to your doctor's advice. When using paroxetine, patients should strictly abide by the doctor's dosage instructions and should not increase or decrease the dosage or stop use at will. At the same time, you should pay close attention to any adverse reactions and inform your doctor promptly. If you have any questions or concerns, seek immediate advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
Instructions for use: Please take this medicine after meals, once a day, and it is recommended to take it at a fixed time. Avoid use with grapefruit or alcohol. While taking this medication, avoid activities that require a high level of concentration, such as driving a vehicle or operating machinery.
Dosage Guidelines: For adults, the initial dose is 20 mg daily, which may be adjusted as needed to a maximum of 60 mg daily. For children or adolescent patients, the dose needs to be adjusted according to the physician's recommendation, and a lower starting dose is generally recommended. Please strictly follow the dosage prescribed by your doctor and do not increase or decrease the dosage on your own. If you have any questions, please consult your physician or pharmacist promptly.
