Desvaflex-C
Composition (per tablet):
• Desvenlafaxine – 50 mg
• Clonazepam – 0.5 mg
Form: Tablet
Description:
Desvaflex-C is a combination psychotropic medication containing Desvenlafaxine, a serotonin
norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), and Clonazepam, a benzodiazepine. It is indicated for
the treatment of depression with comorbid anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and
panic disorder, especially in patients requiring both long-term mood stabilization and short-term
anxiety control.
• Desvenlafaxine improves mood, motivation, and energy by increasing serotonin and
norepinephrine levels in the brain.
• Clonazepam provides rapid relief from anxiety, restlessness, and panic attacks through its
calming, anxiolytic, and anticonvulsant effects.
