Nexito is escitalopram and zapiz is clonazepam.
More than a dozen brands are available for each molecule and they are widely available.
Of course you will need a valid prescription from a Psychiatrist.
Even online pharmacies will be able to help you. We have a tie up with a courier service which delivers medicines in Delhi NCR on the same day and all over India in 2-3 days.
Change of molecules without a doctor's advice is not advisable.
You can buy any good brand of your choice but the dose and generic name should be same as prescribed by the doctor

It is better to take the same brands of the medication but stopping the medications because of non-availability of same brands is not desirable. Substitutes are there for most of the medication including the one you are taking.
Next Steps
consult any Psychiatrist there will be no issue in prescribing the available brands.
