			==Drug Management==
			===Monitoring===
			*changes in mood, the development or worsening depression, and/or any thoughts or behaviour of suicide.
			*Although hypotension has occurred rarely, should monitor blood pressure and pulse regularly
			*An increased risk of falls and fractures in elderly, so fall prevention is needed
			*Some patients develop blood dyscrasias, and have raised liver enzymes, so periodic blood counts and liver function tests are recommended

			===Dependence and Withdrawal===
			*Benzodiazepines should be prescribed for short periods only (e.g. 2 -4 weeks).
			*Dependence is particularly likely in patients with a history of alcohol or drug abuse and in those with marked personality disorders.
			*Tolerance develops to the sedative effects of benzodiazepines. After as little as one week of therapy, withdrawal symptoms can appear.
			*Bromazepam should therefore be withdrawn by tapering the dose to minimize occurrence of withdrawal symptoms.
			*The time needed for withdrawal can vary from about 4 weeks to 4 months or more.

			===Drug interaction===
			nhanced sedation or respiratory and cardiovascular depression may occur if bromazepam is given with other drugs that have CNS-depressant properties; these include alcohol, antidepressants, sedative antihistamines, antipsychotics, and opioid analgesics.

			===Caution===
			*particular care in pregnancy,
			*elderly, due to increased susceptibility to side-effects, especially loss of coordination and drowsiness
			*people with history of alcohol dependence or abuse
			*people with history of drug dependence or abuse
			*people with psychiatric disorders
			*avoid prolonged use and abrupt withdrawal thereafter

			===Contra-indications===
			Bromazepam is contraindicated in patients with:
			*severe hepatic impairment
			*sleep apnoea syndrome
			*chronic obstructive airways disease (COPD) with incipient respiratory failure
			*Myasthenia gravis
			*Acute narrow-angle glaucoma

			===Hepatic impairment===
			*Start with smaller initial doses or reduce dose.
			*Can precipitate coma.

			===Renal impairment===
			*Start with small doses in severe impairment.

			===Pregnancy===
			Avoid use of bromazepam during pregnancy .

			===Breast-feeding===
			Use during breast feeding is not recommended.

			===Driving and skilled tasks===
			May impair judgment and increase reaction time, and so affect ability to drive or operate machinery. Patients should be warned not to operate dangerous machinery or motor vehicles until it is known that they do not become drowsy from Bromazepam therapy.

			== FAQ ==
			==== How should I take the tablet? ====
			If you get nauseous after taking bromazepam on an empty stomach, try taking it with food.
			==== What should I avoid while taking? ====
			Do not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice.
			Do not drink any alcohol or use recreational drugs while taking alprazolam
			==== What happen if I overdose? ====
			Contact your primary care doctor.
			If emergency situation, call 999
			==== What happen if I miss a dose? ====
			Take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose. Take your next dose at the regular time. Do not double the dose to catch up.
