Uses
Buspirone Viatris (Buspirone Hydrochloride) is an anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) agent which treats generalised anxiety disorder by acting on the serotonin receptors. Panic and anxiety attacks may be mediated by neurotransmitters at different brain sites. Medical research showed that this medicine suppresses serotonergic action and also enhances certain dopaminergic activities. This is believed to normalise the transmission of signals in the brain and relieve anxiety. It has also been studied for its possible benefits in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal and detoxification.
Dosage and Administration
Buspirone Viatris (Buspirone Hydrochloride) comes in 10mg tablets for administration via the oral route. The dosage will be calculated by the doctor and adjusted in accordance with the patient`s individual needs. Adults treating anxiety are sometimes directed to begin with 7.5mg twice per day (or as an alternative dosage regimen, 5mg 3 times daily). If the doctor deems it necessary, the dosage may be adjusted for maintenance treatment. However, do not make any changes to your dosage regimen unless following the instructions of your doctor.
