Omelam Tablet may be taken with or without food. However, it is advisable to take it at the same time each day as this helps to maintain a consistent level of medicine in the body. Take this medicine in the dose and duration advised by your doctor as it has habit-forming potential. If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as you remember. Finish the full course of the treatment even if you feel better. It is important that this medication is not stopped suddenly as it may cause nausea and anxiety.

Some common side effects of this medicine include confusion, drowsiness, tiredness, uncoordinated body movements, depression, memory impairment, headache, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting and flatulence. However, these are temporary and usually resolve on their own. Please consult your doctor if these do not subside or bother you.

It may also cause dizziness and sleepiness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you.

How Omelam Tablet works

Omelam Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Alprazolam and Omeprazole. Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine.

Insomnia, anxiety, headache, acidity, confusion, lack of concentration

Dr. Jyoti Kapoor Madan

Psychiatry

Anxiety is the result of a hyperarousal state of nervous system due to a low threshold for threat perception. In simpler words, it's an ongoing flight or fight response. It can elicit a neuro-hormonal response understood as Flight or Fright reaction kicking in physiological cascade of symptoms ranging from palpitations, tachycardia, breathlessness, increased bowel movement, increase frequency of urination, dizziness, muscle tension or pain, trembling, dizziness, blurring of vision to restlessness, confusion and fainting spells. Chronic stress causes prolonged anxiety response with the consequences of slowed me ration, lack of concentration, headaches, fluctuations in blood pressure and increased wear and tear of body tissues. Identifying your stressors, learning to deal with them, de stressing regularly by doing something that makes one feel good, yoga and meditation are some non pharmacological strategies to deal with it. If the condition is persisting for a long time, it's better to see a psychiatrist.
