Esta Plus Tablets Description

Esta plus tab is a combination medication of two active ingredients, clonazepam and escitalopram. It belongs to a group of medicines used to treat psychiatric disorders like clinical depression and

anxiety disorders. Depression is a condition causing emotional and physical problems that may lead to feelings of sadness and loss of interest in the activities that were once enjoyed. It also causes difficulty in sleeping, anger, and loss of energy. Esta plus brings about certain changes in the chemical messengers in the brain leading to a reduction in abnormal activity in the nerve cells, thus making the patient calmer and less anxious. It also increases the levels of hormones/chemical messengers (Serotonin) in your brain tissues that are responsible for the elevation of mood and happy feelings. Esta plus tablets can be taken orally with water with/without food. It is not recommended for patients below the age of 18. Esta plus can cause side effects like rapid heart rate, dizziness, confusion, and seizures. Esta plus tab carries the risk of forming dependency habits and sexual dysfunction after prolonged use. Stopping it abruptly causes withdrawal symptoms like confusion, sleep problems, and uncontrolled muscle movements.
