How to take this drug

Adults usually take 1.5 mg to 3 mg two to three times a day. Your doctor may increase this depending on how serious your condition is, but the maximum is usually 18 mg per day. You can take it with or without food, but taking it with food may reduce stomach upset. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not take more than your doctor prescribed.

What if I Miss a Dose?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue your normal schedule. Never take two doses at once to make up for it.

What to watch out for

This is a controlled prescription drug — do not buy it from roadside vendors or patent medicine stores without a valid prescription. Bromazepam can be habit-forming, so do not use it for longer than your doctor recommended and never share it with others. Do not drive or operate machinery while on this drug as it can make you very drowsy.

Drug Interactions

Alcohol — never drink alcohol while taking bromazepam, as it can dangerously increase drowsiness and slow your breathing.
