This tablet works by calming the brain and nerves, which helps reduce anxiety, tension, and helps improve blood pressure regulation. It is commonly prescribed to manage conditions like anxiety, stress, and other related conditions, as well as control blood pressure in hypertensive patients.

How Lormeg Tablet Works

Lormeg Tablet works by interacting with the central nervous system, especially the brain. It enhances the activity of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which has a calming effect on the brain. This leads to a reduction in symptoms of anxiety, as well as a relaxation of the muscles, which contributes to controlling blood pressure and easing angina symptoms. Its calming effect also helps in managing stress and tension.
