About Dizepax Tablet 10's

Dizepax Tablet 10's belongs to the class of medications called ‘anxiolytics’ used in the treatment of anxiety disorder. Anxiety is the repeated or persistent feeling of fear and worry about what’s about to come, which can interfere with your daily activities. Symptoms include irritability, lack of concentration, nervousness, fatigue, rapid heartbeat, and trembling.

Dizepax Tablet 10's contains Diazepam and Propranolol. Diazepam is a benzodiazepine and works by increasing the levels of chemicals in the brain that produce a calming effect. Propranolol is a beta-blocker. It has anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) action. It works by reducing blood flow to the brain by directly acting on the brain's blood vessels. This reduces heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.

You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side effects of Dizepax Tablet 10's are drowsiness, tiredness, slow or irregular heartbeat, cold extremities (hands and feet), and nightmares. Inform your doctor immediately if any of these side effects persist or worsen.

Do not take Dizepax Tablet 10's if you have severe breathing problems, depression, phobia, myasthenia gravis (a muscle disorder), sleep apnoea (a sleep disorder), severe liver failure, porphyria (an inherited blood disorder), untreated heart failure, poor blood circulation, diabetes, slow heart rate, untreated pheochromocytoma (untreated high blood pressure due to kidney tumour), and metabolic acidosis (increased acidity in the blood).
