How lanxtra tablet md works

Lanxtra 2mg Tablet MD is a benzodiazepine that works by enhancing the effect of a natural chemical in the brain called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).

Binding to specific sites on the GABA-A receptor, Lanxtra 2mg Tablet MD increases the receptor’s response to GABA, leading to a sedative, anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), and calming effect. This mechanism helps relieve symptoms of anxiety disorders by reducing feelings of nervousness, agitation, and restlessness.
