1. What Paroxetina Aurovitas is and what it is used for
Paroxetina Aurovitas is used for the treatment of depression and/or anxiety disorders in adults. The anxiety disorders for which paroxetine is indicated are: obsessive-compulsive disorder (obsessive, repetitive thoughts with uncontrollable behaviour), panic disorder (panic attacks, including those caused by agoraphobia, which is fear of open spaces), social anxiety disorder (fear of or avoidance of social situations), post-traumatic stress disorder (anxiety caused by a traumatic event), and generalized anxiety disorder (chronically feeling very anxious and nervous).
Paroxetine belongs to a group of medicines known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). The precise mechanism of action of paroxetine and other SSRIs is not fully understood, but they work by increasing the level of serotonin in the brain. Properly treating depression or anxiety disorder is important to help you feel better.
2. What you need to know before taking Paroxetina Aurovitas
Do not take Paroxetina Aurovitas
- If you are allergic to paroxetine or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- If you are taking medicines called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs, including moclobemide and methylene blue chloride), or have taken them within the last two weeks. Your doctor will advise you on how to start taking paroxetine after stopping the MAOI.
- If you are taking an antipsychotic medicine called thioridazine or the antipsychotic called pimozide.
If you are in any of these situations, inform your doctor and do not take paroxetine.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting Paroxetina Aurovitas.
-
If you are taking other medicines (see section "Other medicines and Paroxetina Aurovitas").
-
If you are taking tamoxifen for the treatment of breast cancer or fertility problems. Paroxetine may make tamoxifen less effective, so your doctor may recommend taking another antidepressant.
-
If you have any kidney, liver, or heart problems.
- If you have an abnormality in your heart rhythm seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG) known as QT interval prolongation.
- If you have a family history of QT interval prolongation, heart conditions such as heart failure, slow heart rate, or low levels of potassium or magnesium.
-
If you have epilepsy or a history of seizures or epileptic fits.
-
If you have had manic episodes (excessively active thoughts or behaviors).
-
If you are receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
-
If you have a history of bleeding disorders or if you are pregnant (see "Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility") or are taking other medicines that may increase the risk of bleeding (these include medicines used to thin the blood such as warfarin, antipsychotics such as perphenazine or clozapine, tricyclic antidepressants, medicines for pain and inflammation called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen, celecoxib, etodolac, diclofenac, meloxicam).
-
If you have diabetes.
-
If you are on a low-sodium diet.
-
If you have glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye).
-
If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant (see section "Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility").
-
If you are under 18 years of age (see section "Children and adolescents under 18 years").
- If you are taking medicines containing buprenorphine. Using these medicines together with Paroxetina Aurovitas may lead to serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition (see "Taking Paroxetina Aurovitas with other medicines").
If you are in any of these situations and have not yet consulted your doctor, ask them about how to take paroxetine.
Children and adolescents under 18 years
Paroxetine must not be used to treat children and adolescents under 18 years of age. In patients under 18 years, there is also an increased risk of adverse effects such as suicide attempts, suicidal thoughts, and hostility (mainly aggression, confrontational behavior, and irritability) when taking paroxetine. If your doctor has prescribed paroxetine for you (or your child) and you wish to discuss this decision, speak to your doctor. You must inform your doctor if any of the symptoms listed above appear or worsen while you (or your child) are taking paroxetine. In addition, the long-term safety effects of paroxetine on growth, maturation, and cognitive and behavioral development in this age group have not yet been established.
In studies conducted with paroxetine in patients under 18 years, common adverse effects (affecting less than 1 in 10 children or adolescents) included increased suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts, self-harm attempts, hostile, aggressive, or unfriendly behaviors, loss of appetite, tremors, abnormal sweating, hyperactivity (excessive energy), restlessness, emotional instability (including crying and mood swings), and unusual bruising or bleeding (such as nosebleeds). These effects were also observed, though less frequently, in patients in these studies who did not take paroxetine.
In these studies, some patients under 18 years reported withdrawal effects when stopping paroxetine treatment. These effects were very similar to those observed in adults who discontinued paroxetine (see section 3). Additionally, patients under 18 years frequently experienced (affecting less than 1 in 10) stomach pain, nervousness, and emotional instability (including crying, mood changes, self-harm attempts, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts).
Suicidal thoughts and worsening of depression or anxiety disorder
If you are depressed and/or have anxiety disorders, you may sometimes have thoughts of harming yourself or of suicide. These may increase at the beginning of treatment with antidepressants, as all these medicines take time to work—usually about two weeks, but sometimes longer.
You are more likely to experience this if:
- You have previously had thoughts of suicide or self-harm.
- You are a young adult. Clinical trial data show an increased risk of suicidal behavior in psychiatric patients under 25 years of age treated with an antidepressant.
If you have thoughts of harming yourself or of suicide at any time, contact your doctor or go to the hospital immediately.
It may be helpful for you to inform a family member or close friend that you are depressed or have anxiety disorders, and ask them to read this leaflet. You may also ask them to let you know if they think your depression or anxiety is worsening, or if they are concerned about changes in your behavior.
Important adverse effects observed with paroxetine
Some patients taking paroxetine develop a condition called akathisia, and feel restless and unable to sit still or remain motionless. Other patients develop a condition called serotonin syndrome or neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and may experience one or more of the following symptoms: feeling very agitated or irritable, confusion, restlessness, feeling hot, sweating, tremor, chills, hallucinations (strange visions or sounds), muscle stiffness, sudden jerky movements, or increased heart rate. Symptoms may worsen and lead to loss of consciousness. Contact your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. For more information about this or other adverse effects of paroxetine, see section 4.
Some medicines in the same class as paroxetine (called SSRIs/SNRIs) may cause sexual dysfunction symptoms (see section 4). In some cases, these symptoms persist after stopping treatment.

Some medicines may increase the side effects of Paroxetina Aurovitas and, in some cases, may cause very serious reactions. Do not take any other medicine while taking Paroxetina Aurovitas without first consulting your doctor, especially:
- Medicines containing buprenorphine. These medicines may interact with Paroxetina Aurovitas and you may experience symptoms such as involuntary rhythmic muscle contractions, including in the muscles controlling eye movement, agitation, hallucinations, coma, excessive sweating, tremors, exaggerated reflexes, increased muscle tension, and body temperature above 38°C. Contact your doctor if you experience these symptoms.
If you are taking or have recently taken any of these medicines, inform your doctor and ask what you should do. Your doctor may decide to change your dose or prescribe a different medicine.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might need to take any other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription.
Taking Paroxetina Aurovitas with food, drinks, and alcohol
Do not consume alcohol while taking Paroxetina. Alcohol may worsen your symptoms or side effects. Taking Paroxetina with food in the morning may reduce the likelihood of feeling unwell (nausea).
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.
An increased risk of birth defects, particularly those affecting the heart, has been observed in newborns whose mothers took paroxetine during the first months of pregnancy. In the general population, approximately 1 in 100 newborns is born with a heart defect. This rate increased to 2 in 100 newborns in mothers who took paroxetine. Your doctor, in consultation with you, may switch you to another treatment or gradually discontinue paroxetine during pregnancy. However, depending on your circumstances, your doctor may recommend continuing paroxetine.
Ensure your midwife or doctor knows you are taking paroxetine.
If you take Paroxetina during the late stages of pregnancy, there may be an increased risk of heavy vaginal bleeding shortly after delivery, especially if you have a history of bleeding disorders. Your doctor or midwife should be aware you are taking Paroxetina so they can advise you. Medicines like paroxetine may increase the risk of a serious condition called persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) when taken during pregnancy, particularly near the end. In newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN), the pressure in the blood vessels between the heart and lungs is very high.
If you take paroxetine during the third trimester of pregnancy, your newborn may also experience other symptoms, usually beginning within the first 24 hours after birth. These symptoms include:
- Difficulty breathing.
- Bluish skin or appearance of being too hot or cold.
- Bluish lips.
- Vomiting or difficulty feeding.
- Extreme tiredness, trouble sleeping, or frequent crying.
- Muscle stiffness or floppiness.
- Tremors, localized tremors, or seizures.
- Exaggerated reflexes.
If your baby shows any of these symptoms at birth, or if you are concerned about your newborn's health, contact your doctor or midwife, who will advise you.
Paroxetine passes into breast milk in very small amounts. Consult your doctor if you are taking paroxetine before starting breastfeeding. Your doctor, in consultation with you, may advise continuing breastfeeding while taking paroxetine.
Animal studies have shown that paroxetine reduces sperm quality. This could theoretically affect fertility, but this effect has not yet been observed in humans.
Driving and using machines
Some of the adverse effects paroxetine may cause include dizziness, confusion, drowsiness, or blurred vision. If you experience any of these effects, do not drive or operate machinery.
Paroxetina Aurovitas contains lactose
This medicine contains lactose. If your doctor has informed you of an intolerance to certain sugars, consult them before taking this medicine.
Paroxetina Aurovitas contains sodium
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per tablet, which is essentially "sodium-free."
3. How to take Paroxetine Aurovitas
Follow exactly the instructions for use provided by your doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.
Sometimes it may be necessary for you to take more than one tablet or half a tablet. The following table will show you how many tablets you should take:
Dosage | Number of tablets to take |
10 mg | Half a white tablet |
20 mg | One white tablet |
30 mg | One blue tablet or one and a half white tablets |
40 mg | Two white tablets |
50 mg | One blue tablet + one white tablet or two and a half white tablets |

Your doctor will tell you what dose to take when you start treatment with paroxetine. Most people begin to feel better after a couple of weeks. If you do not start to feel better after this time, consult your doctor, who will advise you on what to do. Your doctor may decide to gradually increase your dose in 10 mg increments up to the maximum daily dose.
Take the tablets in the morning with food.
Swallow the tablets with water.
Do not chew the tablets.
Your doctor will determine how long your treatment should last. This period may last for several months or even longer.
Elderly patients
The maximum dose for people over 65 years of age is 40 mg per day.
Patients with kidney or liver problems
If you have liver problems or severe kidney disease, your doctor may decide that you should take lower doses of paroxetine than usual.
If you take more Paroxetina Aurovitas than you should
Never take more tablets than your doctor has prescribed. In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service at telephone number 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.
A person who has taken an overdose of paroxetine may experience some of the symptoms listed in section 4, Possible side effects, or the following symptoms: fever, involuntary muscle contractions.
If you forget to take Paroxetina Aurovitas
Take your medication at the same time every day.
If you forget to take a dose and remember before going to bed, take it immediately. Take the next dose at your usual time.
If you remember during the night or the following day, skip the missed dose. You may experience some withdrawal symptoms, but they should disappear after taking the next dose at your usual time. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose.
What to do if you do not feel better
Paroxetine will not improve your symptoms immediately; all antidepressants take time to work. Some people begin to feel better after a couple of weeks, but others may require more time. Some people taking antidepressants feel worse before they start to feel better. If you do not begin to feel better after a couple of weeks, inform your doctor, who will advise you on what to do. Your doctor may have scheduled a follow-up appointment approximately 2 weeks after you started treatment. Inform your doctor if you have not started to feel better.
If you stop taking Paroxetina Aurovitas
Do not stop taking paroxetine unless your doctor tells you to.
When stopping paroxetine treatment, your doctor will instruct you on how to gradually reduce the dose over a period of several weeks or months; this will help reduce the risk of experiencing withdrawal symptoms. One way to do this is to gradually reduce your paroxetine dose by 10 mg each week. Most people find that any possible symptoms occurring when stopping paroxetine are mild and resolve on their own within two weeks. For others, these symptoms may be more severe or last longer.
If you experience withdrawal effects while stopping your treatment, your doctor may decide that you should stop more slowly. If you experience severe withdrawal symptoms, consult your doctor. Your doctor may advise you to restart treatment and then stop again more gradually.
Even if you experience withdrawal effects, you may still be able to discontinue paroxetine treatment successfully.
Possible withdrawal effects when stopping treatment
Studies have shown that 3 out of every 10 patients experience one or more symptoms when stopping paroxetine treatment. Some of these effects occur more frequently than others.
Common adverse effects, which may affect up to 1 in 10 people:
- Dizziness, unsteadiness, or balance disturbances.
- Tingling, burning sensations, and less frequently, electric shock-like sensations, even in the head; ringing, buzzing, whistling, or other persistent noises in the ears (tinnitus).
- Sleep disturbances (very vivid dreams, nightmares, inability to sleep).
- Anxiety.
- Headaches.
Uncommon adverse effects, which may affect up to 1 in 100 people:
