Indications
Alzocum are indicated for the management of anxiety
disorder (a condition corresponding most closely to the APA
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual diagnosis of generalized anxiety
disorder) or the short-term relief of symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety
or tension associated with the stress of everyday life usually
does not require treatment with an anxiolytic.
Dosage and Administration
Dosage should
be individualized for maximum beneficial effect. While the usual
daily dosages given below will meet the needs of most patients,
there will be some who require doses greater than 4 mg/day. In
such cases, dosage should be increased cautiously to avoid adverse
effects.
Panic Disorder
In controlled trials conducted to establish the efficacy of
Alzocum in panic disorder, doses in the range of 1 to 10 mg daily
were used. The mean dosage employed was approximately 5 to 6 mg
daily.
Contraindications
Alzocum Tablets are contraindicated in patients with known
sensitivity to this drug or other benzodiazepines. Alzocum may be
used in patients with open angle glaucoma who are receiving
appropriate therapy, but is contraindicated in patients with acute
narrow angle glaucoma.
Alzocum is contraindicated with ketoconazole and itraconazole,
since these medications significantly impair the oxidative
metabolism mediated by cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) (see WARNINGS
and PRECAUTIONS-DRUG INTERACTIONS).
