PLACIDA TABLET contains Flupenthixol and Melitracen, which belong to the group of medicines called antipsychotics and tricyclic antidepressants. It is used in the management of anxiety, depression, and asthenia. It is also used to manage neurasthenia, psychogenic depression, masked depression, menopausal depression, dysphoria, depression in alcoholics and drug addicts, and psychosomatic affections that are accompanied by anxiety and apathy with depressive neuroses.
Anxiety is a feeling of fear, dread, and uneasiness that is generally characterized by symptoms such as a fast heart rate, rapid breathing, sweating, and tiredness. Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest, leading to emotional and physical problems accompanied by symptoms such as changes in sleep, appetite, and daily behaviour.
Avoid taking PLACIDA TABLET if you are a manic patient and/or have heart diseases such as circulatory collapse, a depressed level of consciousness, blood disorders, or hereditary problems of galactose (sugar) intolerance. Before taking PLACIDA TABLET, inform your doctor if you have convulsions, organic brain syndrome, a history of suicide-related events, diabetes, planned surgeries, or reduced liver or kidney function.
