Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
The Citapure Plus Tablet has clonazepam and escitalopram. Clonazepam functions by increasing the action of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which is a chemical messenger in the brain. GABA lowers the abnormal or excessive activity of nerve cells in the brain. It is responsible for the sedation properties of this medicine. However, clonazepam does not affect the levels of GABA in the brain.
Escitalopram increases serotonin levels in the brain by blocking its reuptake by nerve cells. Serotonin is a hormone responsible for stabilising the mood, causing good feelings, etc. It can also help in other functions like sleeping, eating, and digestion.
