Anxiety Disorders:
Bromazepam is effective in managing generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and providing short-term relief from anxiety symptoms such as tension, restlessness, and nervousness.
Panic Disorders:
It may also be prescribed to help control panic attacks by reducing sudden episodes of intense fear and anxiety.
Mechanism of Action
Bromazepam belongs to the benzodiazepine class of medications. It works by enhancing the action of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA is a neurotransmitter that slows down brain activity, producing a calming, relaxing, and anxiety-reducing (anxiolytic) effect on the nervous system.

Bromazepam can interact with other central nervous system depressants, including alcohol, opioids, and sedative medications, increasing the risk of excessive drowsiness and breathing problems.
