Mode of Action of Quel Sr 200 MG
How Does It Work?
Quel SR Tablet acts by binding to multiple types of chemical receptor sites in the brain. This slows down or stops the responses from these sites. These sites regulate the levels of several chemicals in the brain responsible for mood, memory, sleep, learning and anxiety. By blocking these sites, Quel SR balances the release of these chemicals in different areas of the brain and nerves making them less effective for causing psychotic symptoms. Quel SR has the capacity to bind to these sites long enough to control the symptoms. It doesn’t remain attached to these sites for a very long time, making it safer from relapse and some of the side effects.
