Description:

S R T Tablet 50mg is a medicine that is used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a natural chemical in the brain that plays an important role in mood, emotions, and behavior.

S R T Tablet 50mg should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day to help you remember. Treatment for depression and OCD often takes several weeks before you start to feel the full benefit, so it is important to keep taking the medicine regularly and not stop suddenly, even if you feel better.


Stopping the medicine too quickly may cause withdrawal symptoms or make your condition return. For the best results, combine the treatment with healthy habits such as regular sleep, exercise, and support from family, friends, or counseling if recommended.
