Medicine pack check sheet

Source-linked reading points

• 5, 10 and 20 mg are labelled tablet strengths; 1 mg/mL is an oral-solution concentration. They are not the same type of label, do not support self-conversion from “tablets” to “millilitres,” and do not make products interchangeable because the generic name or a number looks similar.
• This label lists scored 10 mg and 20 mg tablets and a non-scored 5 mg tablet. A score is appearance/formulation information in this exact label, not universal permission to split, combine, adjust or substitute any tablet; have the actual package checked by a pharmacist or prescribing team.
• The public label notes discontinuation-related symptoms and calls for gradual rather than sudden handling. Do not abruptly self-stop, take it on alternating days, use someone else’s medicine or change to another antidepressant because of short-term mood, sleep, gastrointestinal symptoms, leftover medicine or online experience.
• The label lists combination-risk clues involving other serotonin-affecting medicines, MAOIs, pain and migraine medicines, herbs and other products. Bring every prescription, OTC product, supplement and alcohol use together to a pharmacist or prescribing team; a webpage cannot determine individual combination or switching.
