Description
Sedipam Tablet is a hypnotic benzodiazepine used to treat sleeplessness and infantile spasms in children. Nitrazepam is the active component in Sedipam Tablet. It's commonly taken in conjunction with
other medications. It calms the brain and aids in the treatment of individuals who have difficulty sleeping. Sedipam Tablet has the potential to cause drowsiness and dizziness. Unsteadiness, sedation, numb feelings, poor coordination, lowered concentration, and tiredness are all common adverse effects of this medication. These are generally transient and will go away on their own. Consult a doctor if these adverse effects concern you and do not go away. It should be remarked that this medication may diminish muscular tone and raise the chances of falls in older individuals. Sedipam Tablet is not recommended if the patient has COPD, hypersensitivity, elevated eye pressure, or significant liver damage. Overdosing on benzodiazepines is treated with supportive care. Mechanical ventilation is rarely required. Flumazenil has been found to selectively disrupt benzodiazepine affinity for CNS receptors, causing benzodiazepine-induced neurological depression to be reversed but not respiratory depression.
