Trazalon 50mg Tablet

Characteristics of Trazalon 50mg 

Serotonin Blocking Reuptake Inhibitor Relieves Depressive Mood and Helps with Insomnia

• An antidepressant that relieves depression and increases motivation through anti-anxiety and sedative effects.
• It also has the effect of deepening sleep, making it ideal for depression with insomnia.
• Safe to use with low risk of addiction, tolerance and side effects.

Effect/Efficacy

• Improvement of depression and depressive symptoms.
• improvement of insomnia.

Trazalon is effective in improving depression and insomnia.

Depression develops when there is less serotonin in the brain, and Trazalon works by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin. This increases the concentration of serotonin in the brain and has the effect of improving depression.

However, there are reports that treatment results are poor for those with severe or moderate depression, so depending on the symptoms, it is necessary to consider the choice of other antidepressants.

It also has adrenergic receptor (α1) and histamine receptor (H1) blocking effects. Because of its drowsiness-inducing effect, it is sometimes used as a treatment for insomnia. It is commonly used to treat depression and insomnia, but it is said to be effective for generalized anxiety disorder, bulimia nervosa, agitation associated with dementia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and delirium. There are also reports.

However, clinical trials have shown no difference from placebo, and it is difficult to adjust the dosage, so if you use it for these symptoms, please consult your doctor before using it.

About Trazalon 50mg 

Trazalon is an antidepressant manufactured by Sun Pharma, a major Indian pharmaceutical company.

It is classified as a serotonin blocking reuptake inhibitor (SARI) and works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. As a result, it has the effect of relieving depression and anxiety caused by depression and increasing motivation.

It is also used as a sleep aid because of its antihistamine effect and its ability to induce drowsiness.

In general, it is said that it does not have the strong effects of tricyclic antidepressants, but there is little risk of side effects, dependence, tolerance, etc., and it is effective for relatively mild depression accompanied by anxiety and insomnia. It is suitable. The active ingredient, trazodone, was originally synthesized in Italy in the 1970s and approved for treatment in the United States in the 1980s.

It is an antidepressant with a long history of use in USA since 1991. Since Trazalon is a generic drug, it has the same effects, ingredients, and side effects, but it has the advantage of being able to continue treatment while keeping treatment costs down.

It is recommended for those who want to reduce the risk of tolerance and side effects with the cheapest possible medicine and improve relatively mild depression, anxiety, and insomnia symptoms.

Best antidepressant for not only depression but also for improving insomnia

Trazalon is an antidepressant that improves depression and anxiety by increasing the concentration of serotonin.

They are generally considered to be less effective than tricyclic antidepressants, but some believe they are equally effective.

As selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have become mainstream antidepressants, their use is decreasing, but they are effective in treating mild depression.

In recent years, it has been increasingly used as a sleeping drug by taking advantage of drowsiness due to its antihistamine action. Tolerance and dependence may be a problem with benzodiazepine receptor agonist sleeping pills, and many people may hesitate to take them.

There are various symptoms of insomnia, but it is said that it is particularly effective for waking up in the middle of the day and early morning awakening.

In addition, when it was used for insomnia associated with PTSD, more than 90% reported that falling asleep improved. It is an antidepressant recommended for those who are depressed and have particularly strong insomnia symptoms, or for those who are concerned about tolerance or dependence due to insomnia such as waking up in the middle of the night or early morning awakening.

Treatment is possible with reduced risk of addiction, tolerance, side effects, etc.

Antidepressants and sleeping pills are drugs that tend to be taken for a long time. Therefore, there are concerns about side effects, the formation of tolerance, and addiction.

However, it is painful to worry about it and not be able to improve the symptoms forever. Among antidepressants, Trazalon has the advantage of having less risk of side effects, tolerance, and addiction.

It is said that many people hesitate to take antidepressants and sleeping pills due to these problems, but with Trazalon, it is possible to treat with almost no worries.

Side effects may be a little stronger when you start taking them or when you increase the dose, but they are still mild compared to SSRIs.

In particular, many people may be concerned about sexual dysfunction caused by SSRIs, but it is said that this possibility is low with Trazalon.

In addition, it is an antidepressant that is easy to use even for the elderly, although we must be careful about side effects such as lightheadedness. If you are worried about dependence or side effects and cannot take antidepressants or sleeping pills, please try Trazalon, which has less risk.

Improving depressive state by inhibiting the recovery of serotonin to nerve cells

Depression is caused by a lack of serotonin in the brain, so increasing the amount of serotonin in the brain can improve depression.

Information is transmitted by releasing serotonin between nerve cells, but serotonin that has been released too much is recovered by nerve cells again. At this time, if serotonin is recovered into nerve cells, the amount of serotonin involved in information transmission will decrease accordingly.

Trazodone works by blocking the process by which serotonin is returned to nerve cells. As a result of this action, the amount of serotonin increases, so it becomes possible to improve depression.
