Uses of Faverin Tablets 50mg

Faverin Tablets 50mg is an antidepressant used to treat depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), including OCD in children under specialist care. It can lift low mood and reduce intrusive, unwanted thoughts and the urge to repeat certain behaviours. Benefits build up gradually, often over several weeks, so it is important to keep taking it even if you do not notice a change straight away.

How Faverin Tablets 50mg works

Fluvoxamine belongs to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) group. It stops nerve cells from reabsorbing serotonin too quickly, so more of this chemical messenger remains available in the brain. Over time this helps improve mood, anxiety and obsessive thoughts.

Possible side effects

Some side effects of Faverin Tablets 50mg are most noticeable in the first few weeks. They include:

• Nausea
• Drowsiness or difficulty sleeping
• Headache
• Dry mouth
• Sweating
• Loss of appetite

Contact a doctor straight away if you have thoughts of harming yourself, especially in the first weeks. Seek urgent help for confusion, high fever, muscle stiffness or twitching, a fast heartbeat, unusual bleeding or a fit.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not stop it suddenly, as this can cause withdrawal symptoms; your doctor will reduce the dose gradually.
• Fluvoxamine interacts with many medicines and with caffeine, including theophylline, clozapine, tizanidine, warfarin and other antidepressants, so tell your doctor about everything you take.
• Avoid alcohol, and do not drive until you know how it affects your alertness.
• Tell your doctor if you have epilepsy, bipolar disorder, liver disease, a bleeding problem or glaucoma, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Young people under 25 should be monitored closely when starting treatment.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
