Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Escitapax plus H tablet is a combination medicine. It contains two active ingredients, namely clonazepam and escitalopram, which work on two different levels to control anxiety and panic attacks.
Clonazepam is used as an anticonvulsant (used in the treatment of fits- a moment when the body gets rigid and tremors) and a muscle relaxant. It works by decreasing the brain electrical passage of neurons, which causes a state of relaxation. There are three qualities of clonazepam that makes it very effective- its effect is very long, its onset is very instant, and it has no active metabolites, i.e. it leaves no active form of medicine after the body has processed it. The action of clonazepam is mediated through GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which is a neurotransmitter. It acts on inhibitory mechanisms in the brain, thus producing a calmer effect, which helps to lower anxiety.
On the other hand, escitalopram belongs to the class of antidepressants. It works mainly to maintain mental equilibrium by controlling serotonin levels in the brain. Escitalopram increases the amount of serotonin which promotes a state of calmness in the brain....
