Medistat 0.5mg Tablet is a benzodiazepine. It works by increasing the action of a chemical messenger (GABA) which suppresses the abnormal and excessive activity of the nerve cells in the brain.
The pharmacokinetic variables of midazolam reveal that it is cleared significantly more rapidly than diazepam and lorazepam. The rapid redistribution of midazolam and high rate of liver clearance account for its relatively short hypnotic and hemodynamic effects.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
