Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Relicalm Cd tablet is composed of two components, namely Chlordiazepoxide and Trifluoperazine. Trifluoperazine exerts its mechanism of action by decreasing the effect of dopamine in the brain cells. Dopamine is a chemical neurotransmitter in the brain that acts as a messenger between the nerve cells in the central nervous system. By blocking the central dopamine receptors, Trifluoperazine prevents delusions and hallucinations, which are caused due to excess dopamine. Chlordiazepoxide has sedative and hypnotic effects. It acts on specific receptors like gamma-amino neuro inhibitory transmitters in the central nervous system. It induces the release of GABA that helps in producing calming and relaxing effects.

  • Interaction with other antidepressants, anticholinergics and hypnotics can cause central nervous system depressant effects.
  • Interaction with opioids like codeine and morphine can increase the risk of sedation, respiratory depression and death because of CNS depressant effects.
