Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

The primary mode of action of Frisium depends upon its ability to increase a neurotransmitter (a chemical in the brain) called GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). GABA decreases the excess and abnormal activity of the nerve cells (neurons) in the brain, resulting in decreased anxiety and seizures/epilepsy. GABA is an inhibitory chemical in the brain and it decreases the process of signal transmission in the nerves of the brain, thus reducing nerve activity.

  • Antihypertensives (used for high blood pressure patients)
  • Alcohol

Interactions with food items

  • Rate of absorption can be decreased if taken with food. However, its use with alcohol should be strictly avoided. Consult your physician for more information.
