About Devesan Plus 50 Tablet ER

CLONAZEPAM+DESVENLAFAXINE belongs to a group of medicines called 'antidepressants'. It is used in the treatment of depression. Depression is a common mood disorder, which negatively affects a person's daily life, described as feelings of sadness, loss, or anger. Depression symptoms can vary from mild to severe and include feeling sad, thoughts of death or suicide, loss of interest, weight loss or gain unrelated to dieting, trouble sleeping, loss of energy, feeling worthless or guilty, and difficulty thinking.

CLONAZEPAM+DESVENLAFAXINE is a combination of two drugs: clonazepam and desvenlafaxine. Clonazepam (benzodiazepine) works by increasing levels of a calming chemical, gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA), in your brain. Desvenlafaxine (selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)) works by increasing the levels of chemical messengers (serotonin and noradrenaline), in the brain that helps to maintain mental balance. Together, both of them help to elevate mood and treat depression.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

To treat your condition effectually, continue taking CLONAZEPAM+DESVENLAFAXINE for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Do not take CLONAZEPAM+DESVENLAFAXINE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed by the doctor.
