Bromazepam: Uses, Side Effects & Brands in Pakistan

Bromazepam is a benzodiazepine anti-anxiety medicine. It is a prescription medicine used for severe anxiety and tension. In Pakistan it is available as tablets, made by 10 different manufacturers. On this page you can read how it works, its common side effects and precautions, and compare the brands and prices available at Medimart.

How Bromazepam works

Bromazepam enhances the effect of GABA, the brain's main calming chemical messenger. This dampens overactive nerve signalling, easing feelings of anxiety and tension and relaxing the muscles. It also causes drowsiness, which is why it affects alertness and reaction times.

What is Bromazepam used for?

• Severe anxiety and tension

Bromazepam is used for the short-term relief of severe anxiety and tension that is disabling or causing marked distress. It may be prescribed to help someone through a difficult period while longer-term treatment, such as talking therapy or an antidepressant, is put in place. It is not intended for everyday stress or mild anxiety, and treatment is kept as short as possible.

Side effects of Bromazepam

Bromazepam can make you feel drowsy, particularly at the start. Common side effects include:

• Drowsiness
• Dizziness
• Muscle weakness
• Unsteadiness or poor coordination
• Forgetfulness
• Tiredness

Get urgent help for slow or shallow breathing, extreme drowsiness or confusion, especially if it has been taken with alcohol, opioids or other sedatives. Contact your doctor if you feel unusually aggressive, agitated or low in mood.

Precautions and warnings

• It is a controlled medicine that can cause dependence; use it only as prescribed and for the shortest time, and never share it.
• Do not stop it suddenly after regular use, as withdrawal can cause anxiety, sleep problems and, rarely, fits; your doctor will reduce it gradually.
• Do not drink alcohol or take opioids, sleeping tablets or other sedating medicines with it.
• Do not drive or operate machinery while taking it, and older people should take extra care to avoid falls.
• Tell your doctor if you have breathing problems, sleep apnoea, myasthenia gravis, liver disease or a history of substance misuse, and avoid it in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
