Amoxapine, an antidepressant , is used to treat depression.
Amoxapine comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken one or more times a day and may be taken with or without food. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Amoxapine exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Continue to take Amoxapine even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Amoxapine without talking to your doctor, especially if you have taken large doses for a long time. Your doctor probably will want to decrease your dose gradually. This drug must be taken regularly for a few weeks before its full effect is felt. Your doctor or pharmacist will give you the manufacturer’s patient information sheet when you begin treatment with Amoxapine. Read the information carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. |
