✔️ Indication of Oxat 20mg Tablet

Paroxetine is used in the treatment of depression, Panic disorder, and anxiety disorder.

✔️ Pharmacology

Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), which means it specifically targets serotonin reuptake transporters and inhibits the reuptake of serotonin in the brain. By doing so, it increases the concentration of serotonin in the synapses between nerve cells, leading to enhanced serotonin neurotransmission and mood regulation.

Unlike some other antidepressants, Paroxetine has limited direct action at other neurotransmitter sites, including muscarinic receptors. This selective action on serotonin reuptake is what contributes to its effectiveness in treating various mental disorders, such as depression, anxiety, OCD, and other conditions mentioned earlier. The limited interaction with other receptors also helps in reducing the potential side effects associated with non-selective neurotransmitter modulation.
