Properties
Antidepressant, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. It has a bicyclic structure, different from the structure of other known antidepressants.
It has an antidepressant and anxiolytic effect with a fairly pronounced stimulating (activating) effect.
The antidepressant (thymoanaleptic) effect is associated with the ability of paroxetine to selectively block the reuptake of serotonin by the presynaptic membrane, which causes an increase in the free content of this neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft and an increase in its activity in the central nervous system.
Indications
Endogenous, neurotic and reactive depressions.
