Description
DEPREX 5 TABLETS 100`S refers to a pack containing 100 tablets, each with 5mg of Olanzapine, an atypical (second-generation) antipsychotic medication. Manufactured by companies like Square Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Deprex 5mg is available at licensed pharmacies, including Gathimaini Pharmacy in Thika. This medication is primarily prescribed for the management of schizophrenia (both acute episodes and long-term maintenance) and bipolar disorder, including acute manic or mixed episodes and the prevention of recurrence. It works by regulating the balance of key neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin, thereby helping to control psychotic symptoms and stabilize mood. While its effects on mood are beneficial in bipolar disorder, it is not solely an antidepressant. DEPREX 5MG is a prescription-only medication that requires careful medical supervision, particularly due to its potential for metabolic side effects like weight gain and elevated blood sugar.
