Description
Support for anxiety and tension
Oxazepam is a medicine belonging to the benzodiazepine group that is used for symptoms such as anxiety, tension, and restlessness. Due to its calming effect on the central nervous system, it can help reduce both mental and physical tension.
The medication is often prescribed when anxiety symptoms or stress have a major impact on daily life.
How does Oxazepam work?
Oxazepam enhances the action of a natural inhibitory substance in the brain, namely GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) . As a result, activity in the nervous system is temporarily reduced, which produces a calming and anxiety-reducing effect.
The effect usually begins within 30 to 60 minutes after ingestion.
When is Oxazepam used?
The medication can be prescribed for various complaints, such as:
- anxiety disorders
- severe tension or stress
- emotional turmoil
- sleep problems due to anxiety or tension
Because benzodiazepines can cause habituation, Oxazepam is usually prescribed only for short-term use.
