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.

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.
