Leanxit Tablet 0.5 mg + 10 mg is a combination medication containing Flupentixol 0.5 mg and Melitracen 10 mg, prescribed for the management of mild to moderate depression with anxiety, tension, or emotional disturbances. This dual-action formulation combines the benefits of a thioxanthene antipsychotic (Flupentixol) with a tricyclic antidepressant (Melitracen) to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall mental well-being.

Leanxit is particularly effective in patients experiencing psychosomatic symptoms, including sleep disturbances, fatigue, and low motivation, commonly associated with depressive disorders.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Flupentixol 0.5 mg – a low-dose antipsychotic with mood-stabilizing and anxiolytic effects

• Melitracen 10 mg – a tricyclic antidepressant that increases levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and norepinephrine to elevate mood

Mechanism of Action

• Flupentixol works by modulating dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps improve mood, reduce irritability, and provide mild anxiolytic effects.

• Melitracen inhibits the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, increasing their availability in the synaptic cleft. This action improves mood, reduces anxiety, and helps relieve psychosomatic symptoms associated with depression.

The combination of these two drugs targets both emotional and physical symptoms of depression, providing balanced symptomatic relief.

Indications

Leanxit Tablet 0.5 mg + 10 mg is indicated for:

• Mild to moderate depressive disorders with anxiety

• Neurotic and psychosomatic disorders, including tension, irritability, and fatigue

• Sleep disturbances associated with depression

• Patients with low mood, lack of motivation, or emotional distress requiring both antidepressant and anxiolytic effects

It is particularly suitable for individuals who do not respond adequately to monotherapy with antidepressants or require additional anxiolytic support.

Dosage and Administration

• The typical dose is 1 tablet daily, preferably in the morning or as prescribed by the physician.

• For some patients, the dose may be adjusted based on response and tolerability, under medical supervision.
