Restyl 0.5 MG Description
Restyl Tablet is an antianxiety medicine. It belongs to a group of medicines called benzodiazepines or tranquillisers. Restyl Tablet is composed of alprazolam. It relieves the symptoms of anxiety and
panic attacks by producing a restful state of mind without interfering much with regular mental and physical functions. Anxiety needs to be treated when it is excessive and out of proportion to the situation, causing discomfort to an individual and impairs daily routine activities. Restyl Tablet is commonly used to treat anxiety associated with depression as it elevates your mood. It is sometimes used as a hypnotic(induces sleep). The dosage and duration of Restyl Tablet should be prescribed by your doctor. Restyl Tablet should be taken orally with or without food, preferably at the same time daily. It can develop dependence hence the lowest required dose should be used. Stopping the medicine all of a sudden can result in withdrawal reactions like fits (convulsions). The doctor will slowly taper the medication.
