Ambulax Etm Tablets
Ambulax Etm Tablets Description
Ambulax Etm Tab is a combination medication containing two active ingredients, etizolam and propranolol. It belongs to the group of medications known as anti-anxiety medicines. It is used to treat va
rious psychiatric issues like severe anxiety disorders, depression and sleep problems. Etizolam is a benzodiazepine that acts by increasing the effect of GABA (gamma amino butyric acid is a chemical messenger responsible for the relaxation of the central nervous system: brain, lungs and heart), thus helping the patient feel calm and relaxed. Propranolol is a beta-blocker and acts by causing blockage of chemical messengers in and around the heart and blood vessels, thus helping to reduce blood pressure and heart rate and decrease the workload on the circulation system of the body. The Ambulax Etm Tab comes as a pack of 15 tablets. It is taken orally with water, preferably without food and at the same time every day. It is to be taken as many times as prescribed by the physician. Ambulax Etm Tab can cause side effects like dizziness, uncoordinated thoughts, uncontrolled limb movements and sleep issues. Care should be taken to stand up carefully from a sitting or lying position while taking this medication as it carries the risk of causing low blood pressure on standing. Ambulax Etm Tab may carry the risk of dependency over prolonged use. Patients should be monitored regularly, especially with a known history of substance abuse. It is not prescribed for patients below the age of 18 years.
