Description

Lexotanil is a brand name for the medication known generically as bromazepam. It belongs to the class of drugs called benzodiazepines, which are commonly prescribed for their anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), sedative, and muscle relaxant properties.

Bromazepam is used to treat various conditions, including anxiety disorders, panic attacks, and insomnia. It works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which helps to reduce excessive brain activity and induce a calming effect.

As with other benzodiazepines, Lexotanil should be used with caution and under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It may cause drowsiness, dizziness, impaired coordination, and can be habit-forming if used for prolonged periods or in higher doses. Abrupt discontinuation after long-term use can lead to withdrawal symptoms. It is typically prescribed for short-term use to avoid dependence.
