Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Citalopram+Clonazepam is a combination of two medications, citalopram and clonazepam that work to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Clonazepam belongs to the benzodiazepine class (BZD) and enhances the function of a chemical messenger (GABA) that inhibits aberrant nerve cell processes in the brain. Citalopram is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) that raises serotonin concentrations, the chemical messenger that enhances mood.
