Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

The combination of two salts, Paroxetine -12.5mg + Clonazepam 0.5mg present in Pexep plus 12.5/0.5 mg, can enhance and elevate the mood, decreasing anxiety. Serotonin is a chemical messenger that improves mood. Paroxetine acts on serotonin by selectively inhibiting its synaptosomal reuptake and increasing its levels at the synaptic cleft. GABA is another chemical messenger in the brain responsible for unusual brain activity. Clonazepam suppresses the abnormal activity of the GABA- gamma-aminobutyric acid. Clonazepam is a potent BZD- benzodiazepine, which decreases the rapid firing of neurons in the brain, thus producing a relaxing effect on the brain.
