HOW ALZOVAN TABLET WORKS
Alzovan Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Alprazolam and Propranolol. Alprazolam belongs to the benzodiazepine class and functions by enhancing the activity of GABA, a chemical messenger that suppresses abnormal and excessive nerve cell activity in the brain. On the other hand, Propranolol is a beta blocker that blocks the action of specific chemical messengers on the heart and blood vessels. This leads to a reduction in heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.
