Prescription RequiredProduct introduction
Nexito Forte Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat anxiety disorders. It is a combination medicine that calms the brain by decreasing the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells. It also works by increasing the level of a chemical messenger in the brain, which improves mood.
Nexito Forte Tablet can be taken with or without food. However, it is advised to take it at the same time each day, as this helps to maintain a consistent level of medicine in the body. Take this medicine in the dose and duration advised by your doctor, as it has habit-forming potential. If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as you remember. Finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. It is important not to stop taking this medicine suddenly, as it may cause withdrawal symptoms.
Some common side effects of this medicine include delayed ejaculation, low sexual desire, vomiting, memory impairment, depression, and confusion. It may also cause dizziness and sleepiness.
