About Destres-ECH Tablet

Destres-ECH Tablet belongs to a group of medications called ‘antianxiety medications' used in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Anxiety is a mental health disorder characterized by feelings of intense, excessive and persistent worry or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one’s daily activities. Symptoms of anxiety include rapid breathing, increased heart rate, restlessness, trouble concentrating, and difficulty falling asleep.

Destres-ECH Tablet is a combination of two drugs: clonazepam and escitalopram oxalate. Clonazepam produces a calming effect by suppressing the abnormal activity of nerve cells. Escitalopram oxalate increases the serotonin hormone levels that improve mood, behaviour, and cognition in patients with anxiety.

Take Destres-ECH Tablet as prescribed by the doctor. Sometimes, Destres-ECH Tablet may cause common side effects such as nausea, headache, dizziness, confusion, drowsiness, fatigue, sleeping problems, breathlessness, poor coordination of movements, stomach upset, decreased libido (low sexual desire), and memory problems. Consult your doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.

Do not take Destres-ECH Tablet if you are allergic to any of its components. Inform your doctor if you have seizures, liver problems, sleep disorders, lung problems, and alcohol or drug abuse. Do not consume alcohol as it can increase the risk of side effects. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking this medicine. Destres-ECH Tablet may cause dizziness and drowsiness, so avoid driving vehicles or operating machinery unless you are alert.
