CIMENZA TAB

About

CIMENZA TAB is an antidepressant medication belonging to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. It works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain, by blocking its reabsorption into nerve cells. This elevation in serotonin helps to improve mood, reduce feelings of anxiety, and restore emotional balance. The therapeutic effects are typically observed after several weeks of consistent use, as the brain adapts to the altered neurotransmitter levels.

This medication is prescribed for various mental health conditions where an imbalance in serotonin is believed to play a role. By modulating serotonin activity, CIMENZA TAB helps to alleviate symptoms such as persistent sadness, loss of interest, excessive worry, and panic attacks, thereby improving overall mental well-being and daily functioning.
