Indications & Uses
Lexopil is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Bromazepam is a strong psychotropic medicine. At lower doses it mainly eases tension and anxiety. At higher doses it causes sedation and relaxes the muscles. It works by binding to the GABA-A receptor in the brain, which changes the shape of the receptor and strengthens its calming, inhibitory effects. It does not affect other neurotransmitters.
Dosage Reference
Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Standard dosage: For outpatient therapy, the average dose is 1.5-3 mg, taken up to three times daily. Outpatients should start on a low dose that is gradually increased to the optimum level. In severe cases, particularly in hospital, the dose is 6-12 mg, taken 2 or 3 times daily. Overall treatment generally should not exceed 8-12 weeks. In certain cases, extending beyond this maximum treatment period may be necessary; if so, the patient's status should be re-evaluated by someone with special expertise.
Elderly and debilitated patients: Elderly patients and those with impaired hepatic function require lower doses.
Children: Bromazepam is usually not indicated for children, but if the physician judges that treatment is appropriate, the dose should be adjusted to the child's low bodyweight, at about 0.1-0.3 mg per kg of bodyweight.
Side Effects
Common side-effects include tiredness, drowsiness, muscle weakness, a numbed feeling in the muscles, reduced alertness, confusion, headache, and unsteady or uncoordinated movement (ataxia), among others. These effects appear mostly when treatment is first started and generally fade with continued use. Some patients may also experience anterograde amnesia (difficulty forming new memories) even at the usual therapeutic doses.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Bromazepam belongs to the benzodiazepine class of sedatives, and like other medicines in this class, its use can lead to physical and psychological dependence. The likelihood of this depends on the dose and length of treatment, and it is higher in people who are predisposed to it, such as those with a history of alcohol use. Once physical dependence has set in, stopping treatment can bring on withdrawal symptoms, including headache, muscle pain, extreme anxiety, tension, confusion, and irritability. Because withdrawal and rebound effects are more likely when treatment is stopped abruptly, the dose should be reduced gradually instead. Bomaz is not recommended as a first-line treatment for sleeplessness caused by psychotic illness. Patients should be cautious when driving or operating machinery while taking this medicine.
Contraindications
Bromazepam should not be used in anyone who is hypersensitive to it, or who has severe respiratory insufficiency, severe hepatic insufficiency, or sleep apnea syndrome.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Bromazepam's safety in pregnancy hasn't been established. Because it passes into breast milk, it should be avoided while breastfeeding.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Storage
Store Bromazepam in a dry place, away from light and heat. Always keep it out of the reach of children.
