What is Aropax (Paroxetine) used for?

Aropax (Paroxetine) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) prescribed to treat patients who are suffering from depression. It operates by balancing levels of naturally occurring chemicals in the brain to prevent symptoms such as feelings of guilt, feelings of worthlessness, anxiety, or fatigue. This action may also make it useful for treating symptoms of general anxiety disorders. Your doctor may prescribe this medication for the treatment of other unlisted conditions, as well.

How should I use Aropax (Paroxetine)?

Strictly follow your doctor`s instructions while using Aropax (Paroxetine) to get the best results from treatment. The typical dosage is one tablet administered each day, but your individual directions will be based on your health, age, the condition being treated, and the severity of your symptoms. These doses should be swallowed along with water and may be taken on an empty stomach. Do not change the form of the tablets by splitting or crushing them as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents.
