Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Rexipra Forte tablet contains clonazepam and escitalopram. Clonazepam functions by increasing the action of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which is a chemical messenger in the brain. GABA lowers the abnormal or excessive activity of nerve cells in the brain and produces the sedation properties of this medicine. Clonazepam, however, does not affect GABA levels in the brain. Escitalopram increases serotonin levels in the brain by blocking its reuptake by nerve cells. Serotonin is a hormone responsible for stabilising the mood and producing happy thoughts. It can also help in other functions like sleeping, eating, and digestion.

  • If you are using other antidepressant medicines, do not use it with a Rexipra Forte tablet without informing your doctor, as it can cause severe reactions.
