Medicinal Benefits:

SUBDEP 20MG TABLET belongs to a group of antidepressant medicines called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. SUBDEP 20MG TABLET is used to treat major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bulimia nervosa (eating disorder), and panic disorder with or without agoraphobia. SUBDEP 20MG TABLET works by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin by nerves, a mood-enhancing chemical messenger in the brain which communicates between brain cells. This helps in an increase in serotonin concentrations in the nerve synapse, thereby helps in regulating mood and treats depression. SUBDEP 20MG TABLET may also be used to treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder (a severe form of premenstrual syndrome). SUBDEP 20MG TABLET has fewer unwanted effects than other antidepressant drugs. SUBDEP 20MG TABLET is used in combination with other drugs to treat bipolar disorder and treatment-resistant depression.
