Paroxetine is a type of medication known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain.Â
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter. It plays a key role in regulating mood, emotions, and behavior.
Paroxetine blocks the reabsorption of serotonin by certain nerve cells in the brain. This keeps more serotonin in the brain, helping nerve cells communicate better and regulate mood.
By increasing serotonin levels, paroxetine can alleviate symptoms ofÂ
other conditions where serotonin imbalance is thought to play a role.
However, the exact mechanism of action of paroxetine and other SSRIs is not fully understood.Â
Still, their effectiveness in treating various mood and anxiety disorders is well-documented through clinical research and practice.

Xepar 10 mg is a medication primarily used to treat conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart failure. It belongs to a class of medications called ACE inhibitors, which help relax blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and improve heart function.
Xepar 10 mg works by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which is involved in the production of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels. By blocking ACE, Xepar helps dilate blood vessels, reduce blood pressure, and improve blood flow to the heart.
Xepar 10 mg is usually taken once daily, with or without food. It’s essential to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels. Follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Common side effects of Xepar 10 mg may include dizziness, lightheadedness, cough, headache, fatigue, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or diarrhea. These side effects are usually mild and transient.
Xepar 10 mg may be used cautiously in individuals with kidney problems under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on kidney function to prevent potential complications.
