Brain alert: the pandemic left more depression and anxiety

This was also reflected in the increase in consultations received by psychologists and psychiatrists as a result of this type of picture, in recent years. Faced with this context, there was an increase in the consumption of psychoactive drugs such as bromazepam, according to data provided by the Argentine Pharmaceutical Confederation.

Although the demand was higher compared to previous years, Dr. Macarena González (MN 137 937), medical manager of Laboratorios Biopas -the laboratory that markets the product Lexotanil (bromazepam)-, reported that the drug is available in pharmacies from all over the country under medical prescription for patients undergoing treatment.

This psychoactive drug is usually indicated for people who present symptoms of anxiety, tension, depression, nervousness, agitation and/or have difficulties sleeping. Administered at low doses, it relieves mental tension, anxiety and nervousness, while at higher doses, it has a sedative and muscle relaxant effect.

In relation to this, Dr. González stressed the importance of “people consulting a specialist doctor, who will be in charge of giving the corresponding treatment and according to the condition that is presented”, and stressed that “the treatments are not always pharmacological, and that, if they are, the doses and schedules indicated by the doctor must be respected.

Likewise, the professional added that there is a robust portfolio of products focused on the central nervous system that are adapted and indicated according to the type of symptomatic picture of the person.

“From the Biopas laboratory, for example, we have drugs for the treatment of epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease. In addition, for the management of insomnia, we have the only prolonged-release chronobiotic, Circadin (melatonin), and also Rohypnol (flunitrazepam), indicated for severe and short-term cases.”, projection.
