How Lonafest P Tablet works

Lonafest
P 0.25mg/10mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Clonazepam and
Propranolol. Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine. It works by increasing the
action of GABA, a chemical messenger which suppresses the abnormal and
excessive activity of the nerve cells in brain. Propranolol is a beta
blocker which blocks the action of certain chemical messengers on the
heart and blood vessels. This reduces heart rate, blood pressure, and
strain on the heart.
