How does Clomicalm Tablets for Dogs work?
Clomicalm belongs to the tricyclic family of antidepressants. It works by affecting the amounts of certain brain chemicals, mainly serotonin. Positive feelings are caused by serotonin. Serotonin is absorbed by the uptake receptor when it is released by a neuron and then recycled. Clomicalm comprises clomipramine hydrochloride, a serotonin uptake inhibitor that binds to the receptor and inhibits excessive serotonin removal. Positive neural impulses in the brain are increased as a result of this activity.
