Dumirox Information:

Dumirox is one of the best medicines for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders like obsessive-compulsive disorder, obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorder, panic disorder, social phobia, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It is also prescribed for the treatment of children and adolescents having social phobia, separation anxiety disorder, or generalised anxiety disorder. It can also aid in curing Irritable Bowel syndrome.

Dumirox comes from a particular group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. These medications perform their job by enhancing the activity of a serotonin, a chemical in the brain.

This drug has been used in clinical practice since 1983. It was launched in the United States in 1994 and in Japan during 1999. By the end of 1995, more than 10 million people across the worldwide were treated with Dumirox.

In obsessive compulsive disorder, persistent and continual ideas, thoughts, impulses or images that are ego-dystonic and/or cyclic, purposeful, and intentional behaviors that are recognised by the person as extreme or perverse take place. An obsession implies repeated, unwanted thoughts that avert appropriate functioning in everyday life. Compulsive behavior means ritualistic actions like repetitious washing, repeating certain phrases, completing steps in a process over and over, counting and recounting, checking and rechecking to ensure something has not been forgotten, too much neatness, and hoarding of useless items. Dumirox works to cure all these symptoms and relaxes the patient.

Take Dumirox as directed by your doctor. You should not take more of it or for a longer duration than recommended. It can be taken with or without food, on a full or empty stomach. Consume it with a glass of water. For best results, it is often recommended to be taken 50-100 mg on a daily basis.

If you are taking this medicine for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, you may have to take it for up to 10 or 12 weeks before it will make you feel better. During this period, see your doctor so that he can check your progress regularly.

While taking this medicine, you should avoid high doses of caffeine, alcohol, grapefruit and grapefruit juice as these can increase serum levels of this drug.
