Generic Epitra 2 is a brand of the generic drug Clonazepam, primarily used in the treatment of various types of seizures and panic disorders.
Description Epitra 2, a benzodiazepine derivative, is formulated to calm the brain by enhancing the effects of GABA, a neurotransmitter that reduces nerve cell activity.
Benefits Epitra 2 is effective in controlling epilepsy, reducing the frequency of seizures, and managing panic disorders, providing significant relief from symptoms.
Ingredients The active ingredient in Epitra 2 is Clonazepam at a concentration of 2 mg per tablet.
Uses and Doses Epitra 2 is used to treat seizure disorders and panic attacks. Dosage varies depending on the condition and patient response, with a typical starting dose for seizures at 1.5 mg/day and for panic disorders at 0.25 mg twice daily.
Side Effects Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, and impaired coordination. Severe effects might include increased anxiety, behavior changes, and depression.
How to Use Epitra 2 should be taken as prescribed, with or without food, and at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in the bloodstream.
Pregnancy & Lactation Use during pregnancy and lactation is only recommended when benefits outweigh the risks as Clonazepam can pass into breast milk and potentially harm a fetus or nursing infant.
Precautions and Warnings Epitra 2 requires caution in patients with multiple seizure types as it may increase the frequency of generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Not recommended for patients with severe liver damage or acute narrow-angle glaucoma.
Safety Information Patients should avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving until they know how Epitra 2 affects them. Alcohol should be avoided due to increased dizziness and drowsiness.
Indications Indicated for the treatment of various seizure types and panic disorders, beneficial for patients unresponsive to other treatments.
Pharmacology Works by increasing GABAergic neurotransmission, thereby stabilizing electrical nerve activity and preventing excessive neuron firing that leads to seizures and panic attacks.
