Benefits of Depsonil Tablet
In Depression
Depsonil 25mg Tablet is thought to work by affecting the balance of certain chemicals (such as serotonin) in the brain. It helps improve mood and feelings of wellbeing, relieve anxiety and tension, help you sleep better, and increase your energy level. It is used to treat depression that is unresponsive to other medicines. You need to take it regularly as it is prescribed for it to be most effective and should not stop taking it suddenly.
In Bed-wetting
Bed-wetting is a condition that is seen in children who are old enough to control their urine at night during sleep but fail to do so. Depsonil 25mg Tablet can help your child control nighttime bed-wetting. Depsonil 25mg Tablet works by blocking the effect of a certain natural substance (acetylcholine) on the bladder muscles. This prevents bladder overflow at night. However, this medicine is used for managing bed-wetting only during the night and should not be used in children younger than 6 years of age.
