Noctamid 1mg Tablets

Noctamid 1mg Tablets is a tablet made by Schering Asia GMBH Pakistan that contains Lormetazepam 1mg, a benzodiazepine sleeping tablet. It is used for short-term insomnia. Pack size: 100 tablets.

Uses of Noctamid 1mg Tablets

Noctamid 1mg Tablets is used for the short-term treatment of insomnia that is severe, disabling or causing great distress. It helps people fall asleep and stay asleep. Because the body can quickly become used to it, it is prescribed only for brief periods, alongside advice on good sleep habits. It may also be used before some medical procedures to help a patient relax.

How Noctamid 1mg Tablets works

Lormetazepam belongs to the benzodiazepine group. It enhances the effect of GABA, the brain’s main calming chemical messenger, which slows nerve activity and makes it easier to fall asleep. It acts relatively quickly and lasts a fairly short time.

Possible side effects

Noctamid 1mg Tablets can cause side effects, particularly the next day. The most common are:

• Drowsiness or a 'hangover' feeling the next morning
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Poor concentration or memory
• Muscle weakness

Get urgent medical help if breathing becomes slow or shallow, if you are very confused or difficult to wake, or if you notice unusual behaviour such as sleepwalking or doing things you cannot remember.

Precautions and warnings

• It is a controlled medicine that can cause dependence; use it only for the short time prescribed and never share it.
• Do not stop suddenly after taking it regularly, as withdrawal and rebound insomnia can occur; your doctor will advise on reducing it.
• Do not drink alcohol, and tell your doctor if you take opioids or other sedating medicines, as the combination can dangerously slow breathing.
• Tell your doctor if you have breathing problems, sleep apnoea, myasthenia gravis, liver disease, depression or a history of addiction; older people are at higher risk of falls.
• Do not drive the next day if you still feel drowsy, and avoid it in pregnancy and breastfeeding unless your doctor advises.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
