Description
Etilaam 0.25 MG contains an active ingredient called etizolam which belongs to a class of medicines known as benzodiazepine analogue called thienodiazepines. This medicine acts on the brain and nerve
s (central nervous system). It is a fast-acting tranquilliser that interferes with the natural state of certain neurotransmitters called GABA. Etizolam binds to these GABA receptors and enhances the GABA enhanced synaptic inhibition, and acts as a CNS depressant responsible for its calmness, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, muscle relaxing, and sedation effects.
