PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Alzovan-EC Tablet is a prescription medication used for treating anxiety disorder. This combination medicine works by calming the brain and reducing abnormal and excessive nerve cell activity. It also elevates the level of a chemical messenger in the brain, which helps improve mood.

Alzovan-EC Tablet can be taken with or without food. However, it is recommended to take it at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level of the medicine in your body. Adhere to the prescribed dosage and duration as this medicine can be habit-forming. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. It is crucial to complete the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Avoid stopping this medicine suddenly, as it may lead to withdrawal symptoms.

Common side effects of this medicine include delayed ejaculation, low sexual desire, vomiting, memory impairment, depression, and confusion. It may also cause dizziness and drowsiness, so refrain from driving or engaging in tasks that require mental focus until you understand its effects on you. Alzovan-EC Tablet can lead to either weight gain or weight loss, depending on the individual. To prevent weight gain, maintain a balanced diet and exercise regularly. Conversely, prevent weight loss by increasing food portions in your diet. If you experience any unusual changes in mood, inform your doctor, as it may lead to suicidal thoughts.

If you have liver disease, exercise caution while taking this medicine. Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, as some may affect its efficacy or alter its mechanism of action. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

HOW ALZOVAN-EC TABLET WORKS

Alzovan-EC Tablet is a combination of two medications: Clonazepam and escitalopram, which work together to provide anxiety-reducing and mood-enhancing effects. Clonazepam belongs to the benzodiazepine (BZD) class and enhances the action of GABA, a chemical messenger that helps regulate abnormal nerve cell activity in the brain.
