Ox-Pam

OX-PAM contains the active ingredient oxazepam.

OX-PAM belongs to a group of medicines called benzodiazepines. It is recommended that treatment with benzodiazapines should be short term in order to prevent dependency on this medicine.

Oxazepam acts on overactive nerves by means of chemical interactions. The result is inhibition of signals in certain parts of your brain, which may be responsible for your emotions or movement.

It is used to:

• treat anxiety especially anxiety associated with mental depression
• provide relief of acute alcohol withdrawal symptoms

Your doctor, however, may have prescribed OX-PAM tablets for another purpose.

Ask your doctor if you have any questions why OX-PAM tablets have been prescribed for you.

This medicine is a controlled drug (Class C5) and can only be obtained on prescription from your doctor.
