Nitravet 5 MG Description

Nitravet 5mg is used in the treatment of anxiety disorders, insomnia, and the prevention of seizures. It contains Nitrazepam, which works by boosting levels of a relaxing chemical in the brain called

gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA). This relieves anxiety, prevents subsequent seizures (fits), and relaxes tense muscles. Nitravet 5mg also helps alleviate transitory insomnia (sleeplessness) caused by anxiety disorders. It is a fast-acting medication that induces sleep and takes 30 to 60 minutes, after which the person may sleep for 6 to 8 hours. As a result, it should be taken before bedtime. Daytime sleepiness, loss of coordination, nightmares, headache, light-headedness, or dizziness are all possible side effects of Nitravet 5mg. The majority of these adverse effects do not require medical treatment and will go away over time. However, if the side effects persist, contact your doctor. This medicine may interact with other medicines you are taking. Talk to your doctor to know Nitravet 5 mg interaction with food and with other medicines.
