Both are different as nexito forte contains 0.5 mg of clonazepam which is a Benzodiazepine and is an anxiolytic along with Escitalopram 10 mg which is the only content in nexito 10 mg.
Benzodiazepine s have a tendancy to develop dependence and probably to avoid that your psychiatrist has judiciously reduced the clonazepam component of the medicine.
