Lexatin para dormir

El bromazepam, que se vende bajo muchas marcas, es una benzodiazepina. Es principalmente un agente ansiolítico con efectos secundarios similares a los del diazepam (Valium). Además de utilizarse para tratar la ansiedad o los estados de pánico, el bromazepam puede utilizarse como premedicación antes de una intervención quirúrgica menor. El bromazepam suele presentarse en dosis de 1,5/3 y 6 mg en cápsulas o comprimidos[2].
Los miembros de su clase se utilizan para el tratamiento de la ansiedad[4]. A pesar de ciertos efectos secundarios y de la aparición de productos alternativos (por ejemplo, la pregabalina), las benzodiacepinas siguen siendo una forma eficaz de reducir los síntomas problemáticos y suelen ser consideradas eficaces por los pacientes[5][6] y los profesionales médicos[7][8][9].
El bromazepam es una benzodiazepina “clásica”, al igual que el diazepam, el clonazepam, el oxazepam, el lorazepam, el clordiazepóxido, el nitrazepam, el flurazepam y el clorazepato[14]. El anillo bencénico tiene un único átomo de nitrógeno que sustituye a uno de los átomos de carbono[15] Es una 1,4-benzodiazepina, lo que significa que los nitrógenos están en las posiciones 1 y 4.

Some patients with anxiety or nervousness may also have problems with their heart rate, breathing or digestion. Lexatin can also help relieve these symptoms. In most cases only a short course of Lexatin is needed (usually no longer than two weeks).
If you are epileptic and are on long-term treatment with Lexatin, the use of the benzodiazepine antagonist Anexate (flumazenil) to reverse the effect of Lexatin is not recommended, as seizures may occur.
This is extremely important because the simultaneous use of more than one drug may increase or decrease its effect. Therefore, you should not take other medications at the same time as Lexatin, unless your doctor is informed and approves it in advance.
Avoid alcoholic beverages during treatment. The effect of alcohol may enhance sedation, and this may affect your ability to drive or use machinery. If you need additional information on this point consult your doctor.

Lexatin or diazepam

Is there anyone who has not heard of Orfidal and Lexatin? Surely, he or she has even had to take one of them at some time or another. They are two hypnosedatives of the benzodiazepine family used mainly for the treatment of anxiety or to calm the nerves. Do they have the same effects or are they different?
Orfidal ® and Lexatin ®, do they have other names? To avoid confusion with the names of these drugs, we must say that Orfidal and Lexatin are the trade names. Orfidal ® is the trade name of Lorazepam; while, Lexatin ® is the trade name of Bromazepam. Lorazepam and Bromazepam are the active ingredients of these two drugs. Both active ingredients are also marketed as generic drugs by different pharmaceutical companies. In particular, there is a derivative of Lorazepam, Lorazepam pivalate, which is marketed under the name Placinoral®.
The differences between Orfidal® and Lexatin® are few since they belong to the same family of drugs. The most important difference is that Orfidal® is more potent than Lexatin®. Other differences are that Orfidal® has a shorter half-life and a more predictable and faster onset of action, especially if administered sublingually. Lexatin® cannot be administered sublingually. Another difference between Lorazepam and Bromazepam is that Lorazepam is not metabolized in the liver and is safer in people with liver disease.  Orfidal and Lexatin: side effectsThe side effects of Orfidal ® and Lexatin ® are those that correspond to benzodiazepines and there is little difference between them. It can cause sedation, tiredness, fatigue, unsteady gait, dizziness, slurred speech, weakness, forgetfulness, confusion and disorientation. Side effects are more likely the higher the dose administered. For this reason, it is recommended to administer the lowest possible dose.

Lexatin dosage

It is also indicated in states in which there is difficulty in interpersonal contact and communication; behavioral disorders, excessive aggressiveness, school maladjustments and as an aid in psychotherapy.
The indicated doses constitute general recommendations and, therefore, they have to be adjusted individually. Outpatient therapy should be initiated with a low dose and then progressively increased until the optimal effect is obtained.
The duration of treatment should be as short as possible. The patient’s condition should be monitored regularly and the need for continued treatment should be assessed at the same time, especially if the patient is symptom-free. In general, the overall duration of therapy should not exceed 8-12 weeks, including the phase of gradual withdrawal of the medication. In certain cases, it may be necessary to exceed the maximum duration, which, however, should not be done without a special expert re-evaluation of the patient’s condition.
Patients should be systematically examined at the start of therapy in order to set the dose and frequency of administration as low as possible and to prevent overdosage due to accumulation.
