Medical Description
Ambulax Etm Tab is a combination medication containing two active ingredients, etizolam and propranolol.
It belongs to the group of medications known as anti-anxiety medicines. It is used to treat various psychiatric issues like severe anxiety disorders, depression and sleep problems.
Etizolam is a benzodiazepine that acts by increasing the effect of GABA (gamma amino butyric acid is a chemical messenger responsible for the relaxation of the central nervous system: brain, lungs and heart), thus helping the patient feel calm and relaxed.
Propranolol is a beta-blocker and acts by causing blockage of chemical messengers in and around the heart and blood vessels, thus helping to reduce blood pressure and heart rate and decrease the workload on the circulation system of the body.
The Ambulax Etm Tab comes as a pack of 15 tablets. It is taken orally with water, preferably without food and at the same time every day. It is to be taken as many times as prescribed by the physician.
Ambulax Etm Tab can cause side effects like dizziness, uncoordinated thoughts, uncontrolled limb movements and sleep issues. Care should be taken to stand up carefully from a sitting or lying position while taking this medication as it carries the risk of causing low blood pressure on standing.
Ambulax Etm Tab may carry the risk of dependency over prolonged use. Patients should be monitored regularly, especially with a known history of substance abuse.
It is not prescribed for patients below the age of 18 years.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Ambulax Etm Tab contains etizolam and propranolol as active ingredients.
Etizolam is a benzodiazepine that acts by binding on the GABA (chemical transmitter between nerve cells responsible for relaxing brain activity) receptors in the brain, thus increasing its activity to stop other neurotransmitters from sending signals to the brain. It helps to reduce the activity of the brain.
GABA is known as the relaxant of the central nervous system, and it helps relax the patient and have a good sleep.
Propranolol is a beta-blocker that acts by causing blockage of chemical messengers In and around the heart and the blood vessels, thus helping to reduce blood pressure, reduce heart rate and decrease the workload on the blood circulation system.
Thus in combination, Ambulax Etm Tab reduces anxiousness and helps to make the patient calm and happy.
Anxiety disorders present symptoms like constant and severe feelings of fear, sadness, worry and inability to perform in front of others. If not treated on time it can culminate into clinical depression.
