Colam Capsule

Colam Capsule belongs to a class of 'anxiolytic' drugs (reduces anxiety) called benzodiazepines (BZD), primarily used to treat severe anxiety over a short period and panic disorder with or without agoraphobia (an anxiety disorder that makes people very fearful of certain places and situations). Anxiety is a mental health disorder associated with fear of worry and excessive nervousness. On the other hand, panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder that causes sudden feelings of fear even when there is no real danger, with symptoms like a fast heartbeat.

Colam Capsule reduces anxiety/panic by decreasing abnormal and excessive excitement of nerve cells in the brain. It works by increasing the activity of GABA ( a chemical messenger in the brain that acts as a natural nerve-calming agent). Thereby, Colam Capsule relaxes muscles, reduces anxiety, produces a feeling of calm, and helps to fall asleep.
