FAQs
Q. After how many days of taking Panex will I start feeling better?
You may start to see an improvement in your symptoms after 1-2 weeks of starting the treatment. In case you do not see any improvement, do not stop the medicine and consult your doctor. It may take around 4-6 weeks to see the full benefits of the medicine.
Q. I feel that my symptoms have worsened after having started taking Panex. Can I stop it on my own or do I need to consult the doctor?
No, do not stop taking Panex abruptly, without consulting your doctor. This is a common problem with Panex that initially you may feel that your symptoms have worsened but the benefits start appearing after 1-2 weeks. If the worsening does not improve even after 1-2 weeks, you must consult your doctor.
Q. Can Panex affect my sex life?
Yes, Panex use may affect your sex life. It can cause decreased sexual desire and inability to reach orgasm in both men and women. Additionally, men may even experience abnormal erection and ejaculation.
Q. What is the effect of Panex on children?
Panex should not be used in children under 18 years of age. The reason being, patients under 18 have an increased risk of experiencing side effects such as suicidal thoughts, aggression, oppositional behavior and anger when they take Panex. If your doctor has prescribed Panex for your child and you are worried about these side effects, discuss it with your doctor.
Q. I have been taking tamoxifen for breast cancer. Can I take Panex with it?
No, you should not take Panex if you are receiving tamoxifen. Tamoxifen often causes hot flashes (episodes of feeling extremely hot), which can be treated with Panex. But Panex may reduce the effectiveness of tamoxifen and can lead to recurrence of breast cancer.
Q. Do I need to be careful while taking Panex if I am a diabetic?
Yes, you need to be careful while taking this medicine if you are a diabetic. Panex may alter your blood sugar levels and your dose of insulin or antidiabetic medicines may need adjustment. Talk to your doctor regarding this and keep a regular check on your blood sugar levels.
