Paroxetine ER 37.5mg tablets should be swallowed whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablets, as this alters the controlled-release mechanism and may affect the medication’s efficacy.
Typical Dosage
The recommended starting dose is usually one 37.5mg tablet daily, taken in the morning or evening. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and response to treatment. The dose may be adjusted gradually, never exceeding the maximum recommended daily dose without your doctor’s explicit approval. Regular blood tests may be required to monitor your progress and treatment.
Dosage Adjustments
Adjustments are made incrementally, typically at intervals determined by your physician. Increased doses are rarely more than a 37.5 mg increment. Decreasing the dosage requires a gradual tapering-off process, guided by your doctor to minimize potential withdrawal symptoms.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Never double the dose to make up for a missed one. Consult your doctor if you consistently miss doses.
Storage
Store Paroxetine ER 37.5mg tablets at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the medication out of reach of children and pets.
