Pharmacology of Siesta Tablet

Bromazepam is a very effective psychotropic medication. It selectively lowers stress and anxiety at lower doses. It has sedative and muscle-relaxant effects at larger doses. Bromazepam binds to the GABA-A receptor, causing it to alter its shape and amplifying the inhibitory effects. The activity of other neurotransmitters is unaffected.

Dosage & Administration of Siesta Tablet

Standard dosage: Average dosage for outpatient therapy is 1.5-3 mg up to three times daily. Treatment of outpatients should begin with low doses, gradually increasing to the optimum level.

In severe cases, especially in hospital: 6-12 mg 2 or 3 times daily. The overall treatment generally should not be more than 8-12 weeks. In certain cases extension beyond the maximum treatment period may be necessary; if so, it should be taken with a re-evaluation of the patient’s status with special expertise.

Elderly and debilitated patients: Elderly patients and those with impaired hepatic functions require lower doses.

Children: Bromazepam is usually not indicated in children, but if the physician feels bromazepam treatment is appropriate, then the dose should be adjusted to their low body weight (about 0.1-0.3 mg/kg body weight)

Bromazepam tablets are for oral administration

Interaction of Siesta Tablet

If bromazepam is combined with other centrally active drugs, its sedative effects may be enhanced. These drugs are antidepressants, hypnotics, narcotics, antipsychotics, sedatives, antiepileptic drugs, sedative antihistamines, and anesthetics. Co-administration of cimetidine may prolong the elimination half-life of bromazepam. Concomitant intake of bromazepam with alcohol should be avoided, because the sedative effect of bromazepam may be intensified by alcohol.

Contraindications

Bromazepam is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to bromazepam, severe respiratory insufficiency, severe hepatic insufficiency, or sleep apnea syndrome.

Side Effect of Siesta Tablet

Fatigue, sleepiness, muscular weakness, numbed muscles, decreased awareness, disorientation, headache, ataxia, and other side effects are common. These side effects are more common at the beginning of treatment and generally go away after a while. Therapeutic dosages can cause anterograde amnesia.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Bromazepam’s safety during pregnancy has yet to be determined. Bromazepam is secreted in breast milk, therefore it’s best to avoid it during pregnancy.

Precautions & Warnings

The use of benzodiazepines and benzodiazepines can lead to physical and psychological dependence on these products. This dependence depends on the dose and duration of treatment; this proportion is also higher in susceptible patients with a history of drinking. Once physical dependence occurs, completion of treatment will be accompanied by withdrawal symptoms. These may include headaches, muscle pain, extreme anxiety, nervousness, confusion, and irritability. Since there is a greater risk of withdrawal and rebound phenomenon after sudden drug withdrawal, it is recommended to gradually reduce the dose. Bromazepam is not recommended as the main treatment for insomnia caused by psychosis. Be careful when driving a car or operating machinery.
