Administration
- Bromazepam tablets are for oral administration.
Pharmacology
- Bromazepam is a powerful psychotropic agent. In lower dosage, it selectively reduces tension and anxiety. In higher dosage, it shows sedative and muscle-relaxant properties. It binds to the GABA-A receptor producing a conformational change and potentiating its inhibitory effects.
Interaction
- If Benzopam is combined with other centrally active drugs, its sedative effects may be enhanced. Co-administration of cimetidine may prolong the elimination half-life. Concomitant intake of Benzopam with alcohol should be avoided.
Contraindications
- Bromazepam is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to bromazepam, severe respiratory or hepatic insufficiency, or sleep apnea syndrome.
Side Effects
- Common side-effects include fatigue, drowsiness, muscle weakness, reduced alertness, confusion, headache, and ataxia. Anterograde amnesia may occur using therapeutic doses.
Pregnancy & Lactation
- The safety of bromazepam during pregnancy has not been established. Use should be avoided during lactation as bromazepam is excreted in breast milk.
Precautions & Warnings
- The use of benzodiazepines may lead to the development of physical and psychological dependence. Caution is advised while driving or operating machinery. Gradual dosage decrease is recommended to mitigate withdrawal symptoms.
Therapeutic Class
- Benzodiazepine sedatives
Storage Conditions
- Keep in a dry place away from light and heat. Keep out of the reach of children.
