What does it do?

Paroxetine hydrochloride anhydrous is an antidepressant ingredient of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. It is mainly used for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders, playing a role in regulating the concentration of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain.

This ingredient prevents the reabsorption of serotonin in neurons in the brain, thereby increasing the concentration of serotonin. When serotonin levels rise, it leads to improved mood and reduced anxiety.
