Etizola 0.5mg Strip Of 15 Tablets
Etizola 0.5 MG Description
Etizola is a prescription drug used to manage short term anxiety. It is also used to manage cases of insomnia (a sleep disorder that makes it hard for a person to fall asleep). Etizola belongs to the
class of Benzodiazepine drugs. These medications bind to specific receptors present in the brain and increase the levels of another chemical that is actively able to repress the abnormal excitability of the brain nerves. Etizola is used for excessive anxiety or nervousness caused by abnormal excitability of the brain neurons, which get triggered during times of stress. It is also used to manage restlessness and irritability. The dosage for this medication is prescribed by a doctor based on the severity of the condition and underlying medical factors. Etizola should be taken as and when prescribed by the doctor. It is essential to take the medication at the same time every day to ensure that a consistent level of medicine is maintained in the body. Do not stop taking the drug if you feel better without consulting your doctor. Suddenly stopping the drug can cause unpleasant side effects, including nausea and anxiety.
