Praxiten is the brand name for the generic drug oxazepam, which is prescribed in tablets to treat irritable bowel syndrome. It belongs to the class of drugs known as benzodiapenes, which slow down the central nervous system; therefore, Praxiten is also used for the relief of anxiety and nervousness. It is also sometimes prescribed to help people cope with the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. It provides relief for the tension, agitation, and irritability associated with depression or with alcohol withdrawal, and has been found to be particularly effective in older patients.
Before you start taking Praxiten, make sure to tell your doctor if you are taking any other medications, especially antihistamines, if you have ever had glaucoma, seizures or diseases of your heart, lungs or liver, if you are pregnant or breast feeding, or if you have any surgeries planned, including dental surgeries.
There are some side effects that you may experience while taking Praxiten. It can make you drowsy, so you should be very careful if you have to drive a car or operate any kind of machinery. It can also cause dizziness, fatigue, weakness, dry mouth, headache, diarrhea, upset stomach, or gain or loss of appetite. Unlike earlier treatments in the same class, it is rare that anyone has to stop taking Praxiten because of side effects. Most side effects are worst in elderly patients, and can be alleviated with an adjustment of the dosage. Other adverse reactions include isolated instances of rashes, swelling, menstrual irregularities, nausea, constipation and changes in sexual drive. Rare side effects include blood disorders, jaundice and decreased liver function, so it is advisable to receive periodic blood and liver tests during the course of your treatment.
Precautions should be taken when giving Libruim to anyone with impaired kidney or liver function, as well. Hyperactive children and psychiatric patients may experience what is known as paradoxical reactions, such as over-excitement, stimulation, and intense rage. These patients should be carefully observed if taking Praxiten.
You should never quit taking Praxiten suddenly or without talking to your doctor. Because of its addictive properties, you may experience withdrawal symptoms similar to those of alcohol or other drugs, such as sweating, vomiting, convulsions, tremors, or cramps. For those who have taken Praxiten for shorter term, you may experience milder withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety or sleeplessness. If you are prone to addiction or have a history of drug abuse, you should be carefully monitored by your doctor while you are being treated with Praxiten.
