Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Panazep LS is used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. It helps elevate the mood, removing sadness, anger, and nervousness. It has two active ingredients in it - clonazepam and paroxetine.
Paroxetine belongs to a class of drugs known as Selective Serotonin Uptake Inhibitors (SSRI). It acts by increasing a mood-elevating hormone in the brain called serotonin.

This helps decrease the excessive nerve activity in the brain, thereby producing a calming effect on the mind....
