Mode of Action of Zaptra Ls 12.5mg Strip Of 10 Capsules
How Does It Work?
Zaptra Ls contains two essential medicines, one is paroxetine, and the other is clonazepam.
Paroxetine acts by increasing serotonin (a chemical responsible for happiness and stabilising mood) levels in the brain, thereby improving mood.
Clonazepam acts by increasing the levels of GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid). There are different types of chemical messengers in the brain. Some excite the nerve cells, while some inhibit their excitation. GABA is an inhibitory chemical messenger that calms the nerve cells, hence its role in anxiety and panic disorders....
