About LOBAZAM 20MG TABLET

LOBAZAM 20MG TABLET belongs to a class of anxiolytic drugs called benzodiazepines (BZD) primarily used to treat epilepsy (fits), severe anxiety over a short period. Also, LOBAZAM 20MG 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.

LOBAZAM 20MG 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, LOBAZAM 20MG TABLET prevents fits by stabilizing the electrical activity of nerve cells in the brain. Also, LOBAZAM 20MG TABLET calms nerve cells and helps in reducing anxiety and induces sleep.

LOBAZAM 20MG 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 LOBAZAM 20MG TABLET if you have myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness), sleep apnoea (breathing stops and starts repeatedly), breathing or liver problems.
