Sentosa 75mg Tablet is prescribed for depression, and at times for anxiety and panic disorders, offering fewer side effects than older antidepressants. It's available as tablets or capsules, solely through a doctor's prescription.

It belongs to the SNRI group of antidepressants, enhancing mood by raising serotonin and noradrenaline levels in the brain. It's believed to work by increasing these mood-improving chemicals, aiding in managing depression and related conditions.

It typically takes 4 to 6 weeks for full effectiveness, though improvement may start within 1 to 2 weeks. It doesn't alter your personality, rather it aids in restoring your sense of wellbeing and feeling more like yourself.

Patients prescribed it should adhere to their healthcare provider's recommendations regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

It is crucial to report any persistent symptoms or adverse effects promptly.
