Medical 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.

Breast Feeding

Etizola is not recommended to women who are breastfeeding until it is absolutely unavoidable by the doctor. Learn about all the possible side effects and benefits of taking the medication with your doctor.

https://assets.pharmeasy.in/web-assets/images/driving.svg

Driving

Etizola affects your neural system; hence it can produce side effects that can hamper your driving skills. It can cause musculoskeletal relaxation and sedation that can significantly affect your driving. Avoid operating heavy machinery or driving after taking Etizola.

Alcohol

Drinking alcohol when taking medication is not recommended. Etizola depresses the Central Nervous System, and when taken with alcohol which is a depressant, it can further worsen the side effects of Etizola. Side effects like difficulty in focusing, drowsiness, dizziness and breathing problems may be seen.

Other General Warnings

Talk to your doctor if
  • You have a history of drug abuse.
  • Patients with a known history of drug abuse should take the medication with extreme caution. Such patients should be carefully monitored for changes in behaviour and mood. Use of this medication can be habit-forming, especially when used over a long period of time. In such cases, it is advised to slowly taper off the pill and decrease its dosage with time (as per the doctor's guidance).
  • You have a blood pressure problem.
  • Patients with high or low blood pressure should be cautious while using it since Etizola can cause a drop in blood pressure, leading to headaches and fainting.
  • A patient shows suicidal tendencies.
  • Etizola should be used carefully as it may increase the risk of suicidal tendencies. Patients should be monitored for changes in behaviour and mood.

Dosage

Overdose

  • In case of an overdose (having more than the recommended amount), seek medical advice immediately. Call a doctor or reach the nearest hospital to seek advice.

Missed a Dose

If you miss a dose of Etizola, take it as and when you remember it. If it is time for the next Etizola dose, take that dose and skip the missed dosage. Do not take an extra dose of Etizola to compensate for the missed dosage.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Etizolam is a Benzodiazepine that works like any other Benzodiazepine drug. The drug binds to messengers present in the brain that increase gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels in the brain. This interferes with nerve impulses and slows them down. This, in turn, increases the levels of the neurotransmitter chemical. Etizolam is more specific than other Benzodiazepine drugs and specifically binds to receptors that influence anxiety. The drug is absorbed into the gastrointestinal tube. It later quickly affects the brain and reaches maximum efficacy in 30 minutes to two hours after taking the drug.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Seek medical advice before taking Etizola if you are on:
  • Clozapine
  • Cetirizine
  • Clonidine
  • Ketoconazole
  • Disulfiram
  • Metoclopramide

Interactions with food items

Drinking grapefruit juice while taking Etizola is not recommended since it can increase the risk of developing severe side effects

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

No. It is not advised to stop taking Etizola suddenly without consulting your doctor. There is an increased risk of developing symptoms such as nausea and irritability if the medication is stopped suddenly.

Suddenly discontinuing the medication can lead to adverse reactions, especially if you have been taking a high dosage. In such cases, doctors advise patients to taper off their dosage slowly.
