VOXAMIN 100 TABS

About

Voxamin 100 mg tablets contain Fluvoxamine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) primarily indicated for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and social anxiety disorder. Fluvoxamine works by selectively inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin in the brain, thereby increasing the concentration of serotonin in the synaptic cleft. This modulation of serotonin levels helps to regulate mood, reduce anxiety, and alleviate the intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors characteristic of OCD. While it shares mechanisms with other SSRIs, Fluvoxamine has a distinct profile often favored for its efficacy in OCD. It requires consistent daily administration, and therapeutic benefits typically become apparent after several weeks. Close medical supervision is essential to monitor for side effects and ensure appropriate dosage adjustments.
