About Lonafest-P 20 mg Tablet 10's

Lonafest-P 20 mg Tablet 10's is used to treat anxiety. Besides this, Lonafest-P 20 mg Tablet 10's is also used to treat high blood pressure, panic disorder, seizure disorder, fast heartbeat, and migraine. Anxiety is a mental health disorder characterised by feelings of anxiety, worry or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one’s daily activities. Symptoms of anxiety include rapid breathing, increased heart rate, restlessness, trouble concentrating, and difficulty falling asleep.
