Equlok C 0.25 mg/5 mg Tablet

Equlok C 0.25 mg/5 mg Tablet contains a combination of Clonazepam and Escitalopram Oxalate used to treat Anxiety Disorders. Clonazepam belongs to the benzodiazepine class and works by boosting the effects of a substance in the brain called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This helps reduce unusual nerve activity. Escitalopram Oxalate, an SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor), enhances serotonin levels in the brain, improving mood and behavior. Together, they help relieve conditions associated with excessive nerve activity and contribute to an overall enhancement in emotional well-being.

Clonazepam enhances the effects of GABA, which calms the nerves and reduces abnormal nerve signals. Escitalopram Oxalate increases serotonin levels, which helps improve mood and behavior. When used together, they collaborate to alleviate excessive nerve activity, promoting emotional well-being.
