Buspirone (Buspirone Hydrochloride) - 10mg (100 Tablets)

What is Buspirone?
Buspirone is a medication used for anxiety that works by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain. It helps relieve anxiety by altering certain chemicals to regain chemical balance in the brain. It can help the patient think more clearly, feel less jittery, reduce irritability, worry less and relax in everyday life. It may also control symptoms such as excess sweating, a pounding heartbeat and trouble sleeping. Reducing anxiety can reduce the risk of developing depression.

How is Buspirone used?
Buspirone is taken orally usually 3 to 4 times per day or as directed by a doctor. Patients may take the medication with or without food but they should take the tablet the same way every time to ensure the amount of the drug absorbed will remain the same. Dosage will depend on the patient's condition and their reaction to the medication, contact a doctor for the correct dosage. Avoid consuming grapefruits or grapefruit juice as it may increase the amount of medication absorbed into the bloodstream.
