About CLOBAZ 10MG TABLET

CLOBAZ 10MG TABLET belongs to a class of anxiolytic drugs called benzodiazepines (BZD) primarily used to treat epilepsy (fits), severe anxiety over a short period. Also, CLOBAZ 10MG TABLET is used in combination with other medicines to treat schizophrenia (a mental illness). Epilepsy (fits) is a disorder in which there is a sudden, uncontrolled disturbance in the electrical activity of nerve cells in the brain. Anxiety is a mental health disorder associated with fear, worry and excessive nervousness. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that affects the ability of a person to feel, think and behave clearly.

CLOBAZ 10MG TABLET works by increasing the release of GABA (a chemical messenger that acts as a nerve-calming agent) in the brain by acting on GABA receptors. Thereby, CLOBAZ 10MG TABLET prevents fits by stabilizing the electrical activity of nerve cells in the brain. Also, CLOBAZ 10MG TABLET calms nerve cells and helps in reducing anxiety and induces sleep.
