Uses of Clonil Tablet

Benefits of Clonil Tablet

In Obsessive-compulsive disorder

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a disorder that affects mental health. People may develop a cycle of obsessions and compulsions, irrespective of age. Obsessions are unwanted, repeated thoughts, images, or urges that trigger excessively distressing feelings. Clonil 10 Tablet helps relieve symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder by increasing the level of a chemical called serotonin in your brain. It has fewer side effects than other medicines and is normally taken once a day. Keep taking the medicine until your doctor advises you to stop.

In Depression

Clonil 10 Tablet is thought to work by affecting the balance of certain chemicals (such as serotonin) in the brain. It helps improve mood and feelings of wellbeing, relieve anxiety and tension, help you sleep better, and increase your energy level. It is used to treat depression that is unresponsive to other medicines. You need to take it regularly as it is prescribed for it to be most effective and should not stop taking it suddenly.

In Treatment of Narcolepsy (Uncontrollable daytime sleepiness)

Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder that causes excessive daytime drowsiness.
