Treating hypertension with Tenex

Paxil belongs to the family of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

Depression is often triggered by a stressful life event. Other times depression seems to occur spontaneously with no identifiable specific cause. Whatever the cause, depression is much more than grieving or a bout of the “blues”.

Depression may occur only once in a person’s life. Often, however, it occurs as repeated episodes over a lifetime, with periods free of depression in between. Or it may be a chronic condition, requiring ongoing treatment over a lifetime. The disorder affects more than 18 million Americans of all ages and races.

Important information about Paxil

An increased risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior at the start of treatment with an antidepressant may occur, especially in children or young adults. Paxil may cause heart defects or serious, life-threatening lung problems in newborn babies whose mothers take the medication during pregnancy.
Before taking Paxil, tell your doctor if you:

are allergic to any medications (especially any known ingredients in Paxil);

Intorduction About Radiesse

Radiesse is a water-based gel carrier, biocompatible, and non-allergic dermal filler used for the treatment of facial wrinkles and folds. It works by filling and stimulating the body to produce new collagen for immediate results that last about one year or more. Radiesse comes in injection form with the content of hydroxyapatite.

It works by providing a matrix into which the body’s own tissue can grow and add volume. In this way, it is used for soft tissue augmentation and can help to fill in deep skin folds and wrinkles. No pre-testing is required.
Radiesse should only be injected by a trained professional. A local anesthetist is administered so you may feel less discomfort at the time of injection. The full procedure should only take up to 15 minutes. You can go home once the treatment is completed.

Precaution While Using Radiesse

Avoid use of aspirin and other medication during the treatment.
Avoid direct sun exposure. Use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and use hats when you are out.
Avoid activities such as strenuous laughing, using a straw, singing, shouting, cheering, chewing gum, eating beef jerky, etc.

Redness at the injection site
