About SUPRABENZ PLUS 10MG TABLET

SUPRABENZ PLUS 10MG TABLET comes into the category of medicines known as 'antidepressants', primarily used to treat depression and other mental health conditions, including anxiety, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Depression is a mood disorder that affects day to day life of a person. A person may have symptoms such as feeling sad or feeling lost and might have mood swings. Anxiety is defined as an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and symptoms like increased blood pressure. Anxiety disorder also includes panic disorder which is characterized by sudden feelings of terror. In Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a person feels the need to think or perform things repeatedly.

SUPRABENZ PLUS 10MG TABLET compromises of two medicines, namely: Escitalopram and Etizolam. Escitalopram comes into the category of medications known as 'selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs', and works by increasing serotonin levels. Serotonin is a chemical messenger in the brain responsible for improving mood and physical symptoms of depression. It is also responsible for relieving symptoms of anxiety, panic attacks, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Etizolam comes into the category of 'benzodiazepine (BDZ)', which works by increasing the activity of GABA (a chemical messenger in the brain that acts as a natural nerve-calming agent) and is involved in inducing sleep. Thereby, SUPRABENZ PLUS 10MG TABLET relaxes muscles, reduces anxiety, and helps to fall asleep.

You can take SUPRABENZ PLUS 10MG TABLET with or without food. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite, or break it. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take your tablets based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience decreased or increased appetite, weight gain, pain, sweating, fatigue, or high fever. Most of these side effects of SUPRABENZ PLUS 10MG TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Try not to stop taking SUPRABENZ PLUS 10MG TABLET of your own, as it may lead to unpleasant side effects. Let your doctor know about this, as it may cause withdrawal symptoms. Do not take SUPRABENZ PLUS 10MG TABLET if you have epilepsy (seizure disorder or fits), diabetes,  sexual disorders, liver or kidney disease, any heart problems, bleeding or clotting disorders,  or are currently taking medicines for depression known as MAO inhibitors (such as Isocarboxazid, Phenelzine, Selegiline), or problems with alcohol or other prescription drugs.
