Unable to procure medicines
My father is under the medication of clonazepam 0.5 and escitalopram oxalate 0.5
He was prescribed this medicine long back by a doctor in Odisha. Now he is in Bengaluru and we are unable to get this medicine for him even if we show the prescription. What should we do as without this medication he is unable to sleep. Please advice.

I understand your concern but I think you are missing out something.
Actually fixed dose composition (FDC) of escitalopram and clonazepam comes as 5/0.5 mg.
Probably he has some depression or anxiety issues
Next Steps
1. Consult any doctor (including me ) if possible to understand the exact disorder .
2. You can try Nexito plus ( it has escitalopram 5mg and clonazepam 0.5mg)
