Other General Warnings
-
Prothiaden should be taken strictly on the advice of the doctor. You must complete the course of the treatment as recommended.

You should not take any other medicine without consulting your doctor as drug interaction may have serious adverse effects.
Mode of Action of Prothiaden 75 MG
How Does It Work?
Prothiaden acts on certain chemicals in the brain. These chemicals, known as serotonin, are responsible for regulating mood. A reduction in serotonin levels can result in depression and anxiety disorders. Prothiaden acts on the secretions in the brain and brings about an increase in the levels of mood-regulating chemicals. This helps elevate the mood, treat depression, and remove the feelings of fear and anxiety. Prothiaden also changes how the nerves receive pain signals and helps in relieving pains in conditions like fibromyalgia.
