Patient/caregiver was instructed upon therapeutic uses of Versed as follows:
Sleep disorders
- Versed, by enhancing the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter, GABA, can reduce excitability of the brain, reduce alertness & activity, and reduce time to fall asleep. This can contribute towards promoting sleep in individuals with complaints of trouble falling/staying asleep and insomnia.
Muscle spasms
- As versed depresses the brain and spinal cord, it helps with reducing and weakening the impulses reaching out to the skeletal muscles from the brain and spinal cord. This can lead to reduced motor activity, relief of muscle spasms, promotion of skeletal muscle relaxation and rest.
Panic disorders and dysphoria
- By allaying the fears and calming down anxiety, versed can help with offering relief with panic disorders and dysphoric states.
- Versed is very useful to manage the panic and anxiety associated with any oncoming surgical procedures.
