Stalopam Plus Strip Of 10 Tablets Description

Stalopam plus is a prescription medication. It is a combination of two drugs, Escitalopram (10mg) and Clonazepam (0.5mg). It is used to treat generalised anxiety disorder and depression. Escitalopra

m belongs to a class of drugs called Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), which act on the brain to prevent the re-uptake of serotonin, thereby increasing the level of serotonin in the nerve cells. This increases the level of serotonin in the central nervous system. Serotonin is responsible for modulating various behavioural processes, including mood, anger, memory, fear, appetite, stress response, etc. Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine that causes calming effects on the brain by being an agonist of an inhibitory neurotransmitter called GABA and increasing the synthesis of serotonin. The medication should be taken as recommended by the doctor. It is generally advisable to take the tablet at the same time every day as this ensures the most productive action of the medication, as well as decreasing the chances of relapse significantly. It is also recommended to complete the entire course of the medication as prescribed by the treating physician and not abruptly stop taking the drug.
