Anxozap 15mg Tablets
Anxozap 15 MG Description
Anxozap tablet is a prescription medicine used for managing anxiety and panic disorders. It consists of oxazepam as an active ingredient. It is a tranquilliser medicine (used to reduce symptoms of an
xiety). This tablet works by balancing the chemical substances in the brain, which slows the activity in the brain and relaxes the overworked nervous system. Anxiety and panic attacks occur due to overstimulation of the nerve cells. The reason behind it can be due to some personal triggers, such as past trauma. A proper dosage of Anxozap tablets helps in relieving these conditions. Take this medication in the exact dose prescribed by the doctor as it can lead to drowsiness, fatigue, and some other side effects. Dosage of Anxozap tablets should be monitored for this medicine because it has the potential to be habit-forming medicine and can cause physical dependence. Try to take Anxozap tablets at the same time each day because it helps maintain a constant dose in the body. Do not stop taking this medicine as it can cause certain withdrawal symptoms like muscle cramps, sweating, vomiting, tremors, etc. The dose should be slowly tapered down. It can induce both weight gain and loss, and it varies from person to person. It can also increase suicidal thoughts in some people.
