Description

Generic Name: Nitrazepam 5mg
Manufacturer/Distributor: Opsonin Pharma Limited

Indications

Insomnia treatment in the short term, infantile spasms

Pharmacology

Nitrazepam is a benzodiazepine with a pronounced sleep-inducing activity. It depresses the reticular-activating system in the brainstem by enhancing the inhibitory effect of GABA on brain cells, thus preventing excessive brain activity.

Dosage & Administration

Short-term management of insomnia:

  • Adult: 5 mg at night; increase to 10 mg if necessary.
  • Elderly: and debilitated patients: ≤normal adult dose.
  • Infantile spasms:
  • Child: Infants: 125 mcg/kg bid; gradually increase to 250-500 mcg/kg bid.

Interaction

Alcohol, barbiturates, TCAs, phenothiazines, and morphine derivatives all have a CNS depressing impact. Theophylline may counteract the effects. With probenecid, the levels/effects are increased. Rifampicin lowers levels and has fewer side effects. Levodopa effects may be reduced.

Contraindications

Myasthenia gravis, narrow-angle glaucoma, severe respiratory insufficiency, sleep apnoea syndrome, severe hepatic impairment, and porphyria are some of the conditions that can affect people.
