Clonazepam

A benzodiazepine medication that acts as a central nervous system depressant.

Escitalopram Oxalate

A selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (ssri) antidepressant.

Treatment of panic disorder with or without agoraphobia.

Treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

Offlabel use in some cases of severe anxiety associated with depression (when used under strict medical supervision).

Clonazepam enhances the effects of GABA, a neurotransmitter that inhibits nerve impulses, reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation. Escitalopram increases the levels of serotonin in the brain, a neurotransmitter implicated in mood regulation, alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Store at room temperature, away from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Dosage should be determined by a physician based on individual needs and response.

Typically, Clonazepam is started at a low dose and gradually increased as needed.

Escitalopram usually requires a period of several weeks to achieve full therapeutic effect.
