Indications of Zolium 0.25
Pharmacology
Triazole analog Zolium 0.25 is a member of the 1,4-benzodiazepine class of drugs. It functions as an anticonvulsant, hypnotic, and anxiolytic. Alprazolam's effects are thought to be mediated by the GABA-benzodiazepine receptor complex. Like other benzodiazepines, it has a dose-dependent CNS depressive effect that can range from mild impairment of task performance to hypnosis.
Dosage & Administration
Interaction
Concomitant use of other psychotropic medications, anticonvulsants, antihistaminics, alcohol, and oral contraceptives may exacerbate Alprazolam's CNS-depressant effect.
Side Effects
If side effects do develop, they normally arise at the start of treatment and lessen as the patient continues to take the drug. Drowsiness and light-headedness are the most common adverse effects. Depression, headache, disorientation, dry mouth, constipation, and other adverse effects are possible.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Alprazolam is classified as a pregnancy category D drug, which indicates it should be avoided during pregnancy. Alprazolam, like other benzodiazepines, is thought to be secreted in breast milk. As a result, breastfeeding should be avoided by moms who must take Alprazolam.
Precautions & Warnings
Alprazolam shouldn't be increased in dosage or stopped suddenly without consulting a doctor because it can lead to psychological and physical dependence. The doctors must choose the treatment's duration. Alprazolam use should be cautious in people with hepatic or renal disease, chronic pulmonary insufficiency, or sleep apnea.
Storage Conditions
Keep the temperature below 30°C and away from light and moisture. Keep out of children's reach.
