Ufrim Tablets 20mg – Escitalopram for Depression and Anxiety Treatment
Description
Ufrim Tablets 20mg – Escitalopram for Depression & Anxiety
Ufrim Tablets 20mg contain Escitalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant. The 20mg dose represents the maximum standard therapeutic dose, typically reached after titration from the standard 10mg starting dose. It is prescribed for patients with depression, generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and panic disorder who require a higher dose for adequate symptom control.
Escitalopram works by selectively inhibiting serotonin reuptake in the brain, increasing synaptic serotonin levels to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and stabilise emotional responses. Therapeutic benefits typically develop over 2–4 weeks. Do not stop abruptly — gradual tapering under physician supervision is required to avoid discontinuation syndrome. Regular follow-up is important for monitoring mood and mental health outcomes.
Prescription Required. Available at Derma.pk with valid prescription.
