About ESYZA FORTE 10MG/0.5MG TABLET

ESYZA FORTE 10MG/0.5MG TABLET belongs to a group of medications called ‘antianxiety medications' used in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Anxiety is a mental health disorder characterized by feelings of intense, excessive and persistent worry or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one’s daily activities. Symptoms of anxiety include rapid breathing, increased heart rate, restlessness, trouble concentrating, and difficulty falling asleep.

ESYZA FORTE 10MG/0.5MG TABLET is a combination of two drugs: clonazepam and escitalopram oxalate. Clonazepam produces a calming effect by suppressing the abnormal activity of nerve cells. Escitalopram oxalate increases the serotonin hormone levels that improve mood, behaviour, and cognition in patients with anxiety.
