Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Szetalo plus tablet contains clonazepam and escitalopram oxalate as its chief ingredients. Clonazepam belongs to the category of medications known as benzodiazepines. It acts on a chemical messenger in our brain known as GABA(gamma-aminobutyric acid). GABA is an inhibitory chemical messenger, and it decreases the abnormal activity of the brain cells, thus providing relief from anxiety by calming the brain. Escitalopram oxalate increases the level of a chemical messenger known as serotonin. Serotonin plays a vital role in influencing and improving our mood and thoughts. Thus it helps to decrease the symptoms of depression.
