Trazodone Hydrochloride Tablets can treat insomnia. Trazodone Hydrochloride is a tetracyclic antidepressant that can improve the sleep of patients with depression. It mainly regulates sleep through central sedation, mild muscle relaxation, and antidepressant effects.
Trazodone Hydrochloride Tablets can shorten the sleep - onset time of patients with depression, prolong the overall sleep time, and improve sleep quality.
Clinically, it is generally recommended that the initial treatment dose be 50 - 100 milligrams per day, which can be taken in two divided doses. Then, the dose can be increased by 50 milligrams every 3 - 4 days. The maximum dose is 400 milligrams per day. Use the minimum effective dose to maintain sleep improvement.
Common symptoms include fever, fatigue, and discomfort in the affected area. Always consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, medical history review, and possibly laboratory tests or imaging studies depending on the suspected cause.
Treatment options vary based on the specific condition, severity, and individual health factors. They may include medication, lifestyle changes, physical therapy, or in some cases, surgical intervention.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe symptoms, rapid worsening of condition, or if self-care measures aren't providing relief within a reasonable timeframe.
