How it works
Altonil LS 3 Tablet is a combination of two medicines. Melatonin is a natural hormone which regulates the sleep-wake cycle and helps you fall asleep. Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine. It works by increasing the action of a chemical messenger (GABA) which suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain. This is how it works to treat anxiety disorder.
