Zolam Sr 0.5 MG Description

Zolam 0.5 mg tablet is a medication used for treating anxiety and panic disorders. It has a composition of alprazolam 0.5 mg. Alprazolam belongs to a class of benzodiazepines. This class of medicines

works by balancing the brain’s chemical substances that slow down brain activity and relax the overworked nervous system. Anxiety or panic attacks happen due to overstimulation of the nerves. The reason behind it can be due to any kind of trigger, such as trauma. The correct dosage of Zolam tablets helps in relieving these conditions. Take this medication in the exact dose prescribed by the doctor as it can cause various adverse effects like drowsiness, fatigue etc. Dosage is also essential for this medicine, as it has the potential to be a habit-forming medicine. Take this medicine at the same time each day, as it helps in maintaining a constant dose in the body. Do not stop taking this medicine as it can cause withdrawal symptoms like cramps, sweating, vomiting, tremors, etc. It should be slowly tapered. It can cause weight gain and weight loss; it depends on the person and varies from person to person. Lightheadedness is its most common side effect, so do not drive or do anything that requires focus after taking this medicine.
