Whats That
Placida Plus Tablet comes into the category of medicines known as 'antidepressants', primarily used to treat depression and other mental health conditions, including anxiety, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Depression is a mood disorder that affects day to day life of a person. A person may have symptoms such as feeling sad or feeling lost and might have mood swings. Anxiety is defined as an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts, and symptoms like increased blood pressure. Anxiety disorder also includes panic disorder which is characterized by sudden feelings of terror. In Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a person feels the need to think or perform things repeatedly.
Placida Plus Tablet compromises of two medicines, namely: Escitalopram and Etizolam. Escitalopram comes into the category of medications known as 'selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs', and works by increasing serotonin levels. Serotonin is a chemical messenger in the brain responsible for improving mood and physical symptoms of depression. It is also responsible for relieving symptoms of anxiety, panic attacks, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Etizolam comes into the category of 'benzodiazepine (BDZ)', which works by increasing the activity of GABA (a chemical messenger in the brain that acts as a natural nerve-calming agent) and is involved in inducing sleep. Thereby, Placida Plus Tablet relaxes muscles, reduces anxiety, and helps to fall asleep.
