Placida Tablet

Product Description

Introduction of Placida Tablet

Placida Tablet is a prescription medication that combines the active ingredients Flupenthixol (0.5 mg) and Melitracen (10 mg). It is formulated to help manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and related mood disorders under medical supervision. The unique combination of an antipsychotic (Flupenthixol) and a tricyclic antidepressant (Melitracen) works together to support emotional balance and improve overall mental well-being.

Description

Placida Tablet contains a blend of Flupenthixol and Melitracen:

Flupenthixol acts as a mild antipsychotic that influences brain chemical messengers involved in mood and thought processes.

Melitracen is a tricyclic antidepressant that helps regulate neurotransmitters to elevate mood and reduce depressive symptoms.

This combination makes Placida effective for treating mild to moderate depression, anxiety, and asthenia (physical weakness associated with depression), especially when symptoms include feelings of sadness, lack of motivation, and nervous tension.

Benefits

Using Placida Tablet as prescribed by your healthcare provider may offer the following benefits:

Helps relieve symptoms of depression, including low mood and lack of interest in daily activities.

Reduces anxiety and nervous tension by stabilising mood-related chemical messengers in the brain.

Supports emotional balance, helping improve feelings of well-being and daily functioning.

May help reduce fatigue and physical weakness associated with depressive states.

How to Use

Follow your doctor’s instructions when taking Placida Tablet:

Take exactly as prescribed — do not self-adjust the dose.

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or break it.

It can be taken with or without food, but taking it at the same time each day helps maintain consistent levels in the body.

Do not stop treatment abruptly without consulting your doctor, as this may worsen symptoms or lead to discontinuation effects.
