Mode of Action of Stalopam Mini Plus Tablet
How Does It Work?
Stalopam mini plus consists of 2 main active ingredients Clonazepam and Escitalopram.
Clonazepam decreases the chemical known as GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) at the nerve endings of the brain, which causes a reduction in the activity of brain cells. This helps to have a calming effect on the brain.
Escitalopram regulates serotonin levels in the brain, causing its gradual buildup. It elevates mood and helps enhance social behaviour....
