About REPAM 5MG TABLET

REPAM 5MG TABLET belongs to a group of medications called Benzodiazepine (BZD), primarily used to treat short-term relief of severe anxiety disorder, muscle spasms and fits (seizures). Besides this, it also reduces alcohol withdrawal symptoms (like sweating or difficulty sleeping etc.). Before undergoing any surgical procedure, REPAM 5MG TABLET is sometimes given as 'pre-med' to prevent anxiety, fear and worry. An anxiety disorder is a mental condition characterized by feelings of excessive fear or worry that affect an individual's daily activities. High anxiety levels can cause panic attacks, with intense feelings of nervousness, fear, and sudden onset of sweating, hyperventilation, fast heartbeat, and skin flushing.

REPAM 5MG TABLET contains Diazepam, which works by increasing levels of brain cells (neurons) calming chemical, known as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), in your brain that helps to relieve anxiety and stop seizures attacks (fits), and relaxation of the tense muscles. Besides this, REPAM 5MG TABLET relieves temporary insomnia (sleeplessness) due to anxiety disorder. Off-label uses for REPAM 5MG TABLET include alcohol withdrawal syndrome, insomnia, panic disorder, chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting. REPAM 5MG TABLET is not recommended for mild to moderate anxiety and tension related to day-to-day life.
