$93.00

Zopiclone is a sedative-hypnotic medication known as a “Z-drug” that is used for the short-term treatment of insomnia. It works by affecting the brain’s gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors to induce a calming and sleep-inducing effect.

The active substance in Lexaurin is bromazepam, a benzodiazepine derivative that affects neurotransmitters in the brain. Specifically, it binds to GABA-A receptors, which increases the inhibitory effects of the neurotransmitter GABA. This action produces a calming effect on the central nervous system, which helps relieve symptoms of anxiety.

Severe anxiety and tension: For cases where symptoms significantly disrupt daily life.

Important warnings and precautions

Dependency and withdrawal: Long-term use can lead to physical and psychological dependence. The risk of withdrawal symptoms is increased if the medication is stopped abruptly.
Interactions: Do not use with alcohol or opioids, as this can increase the risk of severe drowsiness, respiratory depression, coma, or death.
Special populations: Lower doses are required for elderly or debilitated patients due to increased sensitivity. The medication should also be used with caution in people with a history of substance abuse.
Driving and machinery: The sedative effects of Lexaurin can affect alertness. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medication affects you.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Lexaurin can harm an unborn baby and passes into breast milk. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should discuss the risks with their doctor.
Paradoxical reactions: Some people may experience an opposite effect, including agitation, restlessness, and aggression. If this occurs, the medication should be discontinued.
