Niravam is offered as an orally administered formulation based on a substance known as Alprazolam, being recommended as a solution for the short-term relief of anxiety, panic attacks, depression or nervous tension. Niravam is currently a patented product developed by CIMA Labs. This formula is marketed under the Schwarz Pharma label. CIMA Labs was founded in the mid 80’s and has been specialized in creating and commercializing three types of products, as follows: orally disintegrating tablets (ODT), oral transmucosal (OTM), and oral powder drug delivery technologies for various health conditions.

Niravam is offered as a prescription medication which makes the product unsuitable for those who have not been diagnosed by a specialized physician with one of the mood disorders for which the product is recommended. Although some use the generic term alprazolam to refer to Niravam, it is not correct to do so. This is only the active constituent of the patented product.

The drug is prescribed for adults who suffer from anxiety or depression symptoms, as resulted from a specialized clinical evaluation. However, the formula’s benefits are limited to mild to moderate symptoms of anxiety. For severe symptoms, it is recommended to seek the advice of a specialized healthcare practitioner who can recommend the appropriate treatment.

Niravam is advertised as an oral supplement which rapidly disintegrates on the tongue, without the use of water to help in the process of disintegration.

Facts

1) Niravam Quick Facts

Niravam is based on the properties of alprazolam, a substance belonging to the benzodiazepine class of compounds. These chemicals are believed to work by binding to specific receptors from the nervous system. The exact mechanism through which they are able to do that is unknown. The substance has been the subject of various clinical studies that revealed significant improvements in symptoms related to anxiety and panic attacks (based on several indicators) as compared to placebo medication.

Neurozan is indicated in the management of generalized anxiety disorder or panic disorder at the recommendation of a specialized physician. The diagnose of anxiety disorder disease should be based on several specific criteria involving the manifestation of certain symptoms (at least 6 out of a total number of 18) for at least 6 months. These symptoms may be classified as three distinctive types: Motor Tension symptoms, Autonomic Hyperactivity symptoms, and Vigilance and Scanning symptoms. The recommendation of this drug against Panic Disorder (with or without agoraphobia) should also be based on the manifested symptoms of this condition.

Niravam is not indicated for patients with known sensitivity to benzodiazepines. The drug may also interact with other medication such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, psychotropic agents, anticonvulsant drugs, and numerous other drugs. Niravam side effects include temporary drowsiness or lightheadedness that usually disappears upon continued administration. Such medication is not recommended to pregnant and nursing mothers (because it affects the fetus or the baby) and people under 18 years old. This type of treatment can only be prescribed to elder people under certain conditions (they seem to be more sensitive to alprazolam). The drug should not be prescribed against anxiety or tension as a consequence of daily stress.

3) What Does Niravam Do?

Niravam is stated to be able to help reduce the levels of chemicals in the brain that cause too much excitement. It is offered in a pill form or a liquid form. It is a single dose medication that advertises several time release ingredients able to deal with symptoms of anxiety and panic disorders effectively. The dose of this medication depends on the level of anxiety that someone may be experiencing. It is typical for a lower dose to be given and then slowly increase it whether necessary.

The Niravam ingredients list features Alprazolam as the key ingredient. This is a substance from the benzodiazepine class, chemicals which apparently work by binding to specific receptors in the CNS. While Alprazolam has been involved in certain clinical studies, the evidence is still inconclusive.

It can be very complex to be able to regulate the levels of chemicals in the brain. That is why it is hard to determine how well Niravam will work for any particular individual, There are many variables to that play into that overall scheme of things. There is no information offered on the website regarding what has been done to test out the overall level of Effectiveness for this particular type of medication.

Niravam side effects commonly associated with use include nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, blurred vision, loss of appetite, insomnia, and dry mouth. Women who are pregnant or nursing shouldn’t use this medication. Anyone with glaucoma also isn’t a good candidate for the use of it.

Bottom Line

8) Our Bottom Line

Niravam is a type of medication offered as a drug against several mood disorders. Due to the fact that this is a prescription drug, the side effects, drug interactions, and any other warnings should not be taken lightly. It is very important for the consumer’s health to offer its physician, psychologist, or psychiatrist (the person who evaluates its symptoms) complete information regarding its medical history and any other medication he is currently using if this is the case.

The product comes in 4 different amounts, depending on the amount of active substance provided by a single tablet: 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg and 2 mg. Although there are some general instructions about the dosage, the appropriate dose can only be recommended by the person who makes the psychological evaluation and depends on the severity of the symptoms.

Niravam seems to work in alleviating the symptoms of mood disorders, as resulted from the available testimonials posted online. However, this drug is not suitable for every person that suffers from anxiety. A proper evaluation is highly recommended prior to prescribing the administration of such a treatment. For safety reasons, withdrawal from this drug is recommended to be made gradually due to an increased risk of harmful reactions (addictions symptoms, seizures).
