Question about 5 years ago

Is Zedep habit forming?

Dr. Yogesh Kumar MBBS , General Physician

No, Zedep is non-habit forming and non-addictive when taken as prescribed by the doctor. However, since it lessens the depression, a user may feel good about himself and then he might take more doses and take doses more frequently to enhance that feeling of well-being. Gradually, this might lead to dependence. Therefore, it is imperative that one takes Zedep strictly under the recommendations of a doctor.
