A child's or adolescent's dose is always decided by the doctor. Do not calculate the dose yourself.
How to Take (Kaise leni hai)
- Follow the exact frequency on your prescription or pack label. Some medicines are once daily; others must be taken two, three or four times a day to work at all
- Space the doses evenly through the day rather than bunching them together
- Take it at the same times each day so you do not miss a dose
- If it is an antibiotic, finish the full course even once you feel better

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If the next dose is close, skip the missed dose. Never take a double dose.
Overdose (Zyada Dose)
If you take more than the prescribed amount, seek emergency medical help immediately. Overdose of Seroxat can cause serious harm.
Stopping Seroxat Safely (Dose kam karna ya band karna)
Paroxetine is well known for causing discontinuation symptoms if stopped abruptly — these can include dizziness, irritability, anxiety, and sensations described as electric shocks. Never stop taking Seroxat on your own. Your doctor will guide a gradual, tapered reduction in dose to minimize these effects.
