About SIGDOTH 50MG TABLET

SIGDOTH 50MG TABLET belongs to the class of tricyclic antidepressants. It is primarily used to treat depression that is unresponsive to other antidepressants or any other alternative treatment. It is also used to treat disorders related to anxiety. Depression is a mood disorder that affects day to day life of a person.

Anxiety is defined as an emotion that is characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and symptoms like increased blood pressure. Anxiety disorder also includes panic disorder which is characterized by sudden feelings of terror.

In some cases, you may experience increased heart rate, blurred vision, dizziness, dryness in the mouth and constipation. Most of these side effects of SIGDOTH 50MG TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
