Etizex is a medication belonging to the thienobenzodiazepine class that contains Etizolam. It serves as an anxiolytic, sedative-hypnotic, and antidepressant. Etizex is prescribed orally for managing anxiety disorders, including panic attacks and generalized anxiety, as well as depression in adult patients. Additionally, it is effective for the short-term management of insomnia. Etizex also has anti-convulsant properties that help relax the body’s skeletal muscles, thereby addressing various medical issues. It demonstrates selectivity and a strong affinity for the alpha2 subunit of the postsynaptic GABA receptor.
Etizex contains Etizolam, which replicates the effects of an anti-convulsant. Etizolam is used for short-term treatment of insomnia and is beneficial for situational anxiety such as panic attacks and phobic disorders. Etizex tablets are also utilized for managing secondary psychosomatic conditions like headaches, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and hypertension.
The maximum daily intake of Etizex should not exceed 3 mg. For anxiety disorders, the recommended dosage is 0.25-0.5 mg of Etizolam taken twice daily. For panic disorders, a suggested dose of 0.5 mg twice daily is advised. For individuals experiencing insomnia, doctors may prescribe 1-2 mg of Etizolam daily at bedtime.
An Etizex treatment plan should not extend beyond 12 weeks. It is important not to stop the treatment without consulting a physician. The discontinuation of Etizex should be done gradually to prevent the onset of withdrawal symptoms.
