Griftam Plus 0.5mg/10mg Tablet Patient Guide

Overview Griftam Plus is a prescription medication manufactured by Gryff Pharmaceuticals Private Limited. It is a combination of two active ingredients: Clonazepam (0.5mg) and Escitalopram Oxalate (10mg). This tablet is designed to help manage various health conditions, promoting overall well-being.

Uses Griftam Plus is used to treat conditions such as:

• Anxiety disorders
• Depression
• Insomnia (difficulty sleeping)
• Restless leg syndrome
• Seizure disorders

Mechanism of Action Clonazepam, an anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) medication, works by enhancing the effect of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA helps to calm the nervous system, reducing anxiety and promoting relaxation.

Escitalopram Oxalate, an antidepressant, works by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters such as serotonin in the brain. This helps to improve mood, reduce symptoms of depression, and promote a sense of well-being.
