Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Escitalopram+Clonazepam combines Clonazepam and Escitalopram, two medicines that provide anxiety relief and mood-enhancing effects. Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine (BZD) that increases the action of Gamma-Aminobutyric acid(GABA), a neurotransmitter that decreases the activity of nerve cells in the brain. Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that increases serotonin levels, a chemical messenger that enhances mood. It simply acts as a tranquilliser.
