WHAT DOES PAROXETINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Paroxetine

Paroxetine is an antidepressant drug of the SSRI type. Paroxetine is used to treat major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause in adult outpatients. Marketing of the drug began in 1992 by the pharmaceutical company SmithKline Beecham, now GlaxoSmithKline. Generic formulations have been available since 2003 when the patent expired. As with all antidepressants there may be an increased risk of suicidality in patients receiving paroxetine, although the only solid evidence regarding this is with regard to children and young adults under the age of 25. Differences between newer antidepressants are usually fairly subtle and mostly confined to side effects. It shares the common side effects and contraindications of other SSRIs, with high rates of nausea, sleepiness, and sexual side effects. Paroxetine is associated with weight gain. Discontinuing paroxetine is associated with a high risk of withdrawal syndrome. Paroxetine is the only SSRI proven to be associated with an increased risk of birth defects.
