Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Galop Plus 10 mg is composed of clonazepam and escitalopram. Clonazepam belongs to the class of benzodiazepines, which comes under sedatives and hypnotics. It acts on gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA) receptors in the brain. It increases the concentration of gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA), which calms the brain and induces sleep. Escitalopram belongs to the class of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. It increases the concentration of a chemical substance called serotonin in the nerve endings. Hence, it decreases the symptoms of depression like low mood and reduced interest.
