What is LEXOTANIL 3mg

LEXOTANIL 3 mg is a prescription medication that contains Bromazepam, which is part of the benzodiazepine drug class. It is primarily used to treat anxiety, nervous tension, and conditions associated with stress and agitation. LEXOTANIL 3 mg is designed for short-term use under close medical supervision, as it can lead to tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms if misused.

LEXOTANIL works by calming the brain and nerves through its effect on GABA receptors, offering symptom relief for anxiety-related conditions.
