Paroxetine Hydrochloride (Cat No.:A000195) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) commonly prescribed to treat depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, helping regulate mood and emotional balance. Paroxetine is known for its strong affinity for the serotonin transporter and relatively short half-life. Available in tablet and oral suspension forms, it is effective but may cause side effects such as drowsiness, nausea, or withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation.
