How Paxil CR Helps

 
Depression may be related to a chemical imbalance in the brain. Serotonin is one of these chemicals. One way to treat it is to adjust the levels of serotonin.

Paxil CR can help reduce the symptoms of depression (including associated anxiety symptoms) by adjusting the balance of serotonin. In medical studies, Paxil CR effectively relieved depression and its associated anxiety symptoms.

Treatment and older adults
 
Older adults may be more sensitive to taking medicine. Therefore, the healthcare provider may start older adults on a lower dose of medicine. Older adults are more likely to be on other medications for other health problems, so the side effects of medicines and the results of combining medicines must be considered by the healthcare provider.
