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.

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.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor 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.
