About EPIZAM 5MG TABLET

EPIZAM 5MG TABLET belongs to a class of anxiolytic drugs called benzodiazepines (BZD) primarily used to treat epilepsy (fits), severe anxiety over a short period. Also, EPIZAM 5MG TABLET is used in combination with other medicines to treat schizophrenia (a mental illness). Epilepsy (fits) is a disorder in which there is a sudden, uncontrolled disturbance in the electrical activity of nerve cells in the brain. Anxiety is a mental health disorder associated with fear, worry and excessive nervousness. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that affects the ability of a person to feel, think and behave clearly.

EPIZAM 5MG TABLET works by increasing the release of GABA (a chemical messenger that acts as a nerve-calming agent) in the brain by acting on GABA receptors. Thereby, EPIZAM 5MG TABLET prevents fits by stabilizing the electrical activity of nerve cells in the brain. Also, EPIZAM 5MG TABLET calms nerve cells and helps in reducing anxiety and induces sleep.

Take EPIZAM 5MG TABLET as prescribed. Your doctor will advise how often you take EPIZAM 5MG TABLET based on your medical condition. Some people may experience restlessness, irritability, drowsiness, constipation, aggressive behavior, tiredness or breathing problems. Most of these side effects of EPIZAM 5MG TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to EPIZAM 5MG TABLET or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. EPIZAM 5MG TABLET is not recommended for children below 6 years of age. Do not take EPIZAM 5MG TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding as it may cause adverse effects in the baby. EPIZAM 5MG TABLET should be used with caution in elderly patients above 65 years as there is an increased risk of adverse reactions such as dizziness, muscle weakness and drowsiness. Avoid taking EPIZAM 5MG TABLET if you have myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness), sleep apnoea (breathing stops and starts repeatedly), breathing or liver problems. Do not take EPIZAM 5MG TABLET with opioids as it may cause breathing problems, drowsiness, coma and even death.
