About Zam-MT 0.5 Tablet

Zam-MT 0.5 Tablet belongs to a class of medication called sedatives and hypnotics, primarily used to treat sleeplessness (insomnia). Besides this, it also helps to provide a calming effect on anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Insomnia is a sleeping disorder in which a person finds difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep. Due to anxiety and panic disorder, a person cannot sleep due to disturbances in their circadian cycle and hormonal imbalance in the brain like melatonin. 

Zam-MT 0.5 Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Alprazolam and Melatonin, which helps a person fall asleep faster and stay asleep during the night. Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine (BZD) that increases the activity of a chemical messenger in the brain known as GABA, reducing the abnormal and overactivity of brain cells (neurons), which in turn relaxes the brain and promotes sleep. On the other hand, Melatonin is a natural hormone that activates the ON-OFF mechanism of a person's sleeping-waking cycle (circadian cycle), thereby inducing sleep during the nighttime. 

Take Zam-MT 0.5 Tablet with or without food and swallow whole with a glass of water. Do not break, crush, or chew it. Your doctor will advise you how often you take Zam-MT 0.5 Tablet based on your medical condition. The most common side effects of Zam-MT 0.5 Tablet include drowsiness, tiredness, headache, depressed mood, daytime drowsiness, stomach pain, and dizziness. Most of these side effects of Zam-MT 0.5 Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Tell your doctor if you have an ongoing medical condition, including depression, diabetes, an autoimmune disorder, or high blood pressure. If you are known to be allergic to Zam-MT 0.5 Tablet or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before taking Zam-MT 0.5 Tablet . Zam-MT 0.5 Tablet should be used with caution in elderly patients as there is an increased risk of adverse reactions such as dizziness, muscle weakness, and drowsiness.
