Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

The mechanism of action of Etizep resembles that of benzodiazepines. Etizolam causes the release of a chemical substance in the brain known as GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). This produces a calming and sedative effect in the brain. GABA predominantly produces inhibitory effects and hence produces sedating, anti-anxiety, calming effects by promoting the effects of GABA.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Itraconazole and fluvoxamine slows down the elimination rate of Etizep, leading to the accumulation of Etizep, therefore increasing its pharmacological effects.
  • Carbamazepine speeds up the metabolism of Etizep, because of which the tablet may be less effective.
  • Antipsychotics (Aripriprazol, Asenapine, Clozapine, Risperidone) can cause a decrease in respiratory rate and low blood pressure levels.
  • Opioid analgesics (Codeine) can cause extreme drowsiness.
  • Calcium-channel blockers (Verapamil, Diltiazem) can decrease blood pressure to dangerously low levels.
  • Diuretics (furosemide) can affect the metabolism of Etilaam Tablets.
  • Antacids (Cimetidine, Esomeprazole, Omeprazole) as it decreases the absorption of the medicine.
  • Muscle relaxants (succinylcholine, atracurium) as it increase weakness and fatigue.

Interactions with food items

  • This medication should be taken within 15 to 30 minutes of taking food. It does not have any specific interactions.
