Medicinal Benefits

Doxep 10mg Capsule contains Doxepin which is a tricyclic anti-depressant. It is primarily used to treat depression and anxiety when patients become intolerant to other medicines. In addition to this, it is also given as a medication to treat insomnia (difficulty in sleeping) in some people. Doxepin works by increasing the level of chemicals in the brain responsible for mood changes and causing depression. As a result, your mood is enhanced, and you feel better. If Doxep 10mg Capsule is prescribed for insomnia, it helps us sleep for more time and, hence, treats sleeping difficulty.
