m is an antidepressant, and it belongs to the SSRI ( selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) class of drugs. Clonazepam is a tranquilliser, and it belongs to a class of benzodiazepines. Anxiety and other mood disorders affect how you feel. Major depressive disorder is one of the mood disorders. The reasons behind it are mostly unknown. It can be caused by sudden triggers like stress, trauma, etc. Newcita Lite tablets help stabilise the mood by lowering the excess activity of nerves in the brain. It can also cause a calming mood and sedation effect. The dose of Newcita Lite tablets should be carefully monitored in everyone, especially in older patients and patients with liver and kidney disorders.
