Mode of Action of Anxit Forte Tablets
How Does It Work?
The Anxit Forte tablet contains two active ingredients: sertraline and alprazolam.
Sertraline is an antidepressant medication. It improves the activity and levels of serotonin in the brain by blocking its reuptake by nerve cells. Serotonin is a natural neurotransmitter in the brain. It is responsible for calming the mood, giving rise to good feelings, and improving behaviour. It can also help in improving sleeping, eating, and digestion.
Alprazolam is a tranquilliser. It binds to specific receptors in the brain, increasing the activity of GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid), a chemical messenger (neurotransmitter) in the brain. Increasing the effects of GABA causes lowering of the brain's excessive and abnormal electrical activity of the neurons. This results in a calming mood. However, alprazolam does not cause any changes to GABA levels in the body....
