The non-accumulating anxiolytic. Serax introduces a new benefit for the anxious elderly. A clean break from the past, with the new "easy-split" tablet. Tablets break cleanly and evenly with just a press of the finger. Less chance of crumbling, lost, or uneven pieces. The introduction of the distinctive and convenient "easy-split" tablet provides another patient benefit of particular value to the elderly. It facilitates compliance and affs to the unique profile of benefits distinguishing Serax from other benzodiazepines. Non-accumulating: "In contrast to other benzodiazepines, oxazepam (Serax) does not have any active metabolites that prolong its effect and it is not cumulative. These assets make oxazepam (Serax) an especially suitable agent for the elderly. Reduces restlessness: "Because of its relatively short duration of action, an adequate dose at bedtime often reduces restlessness without a high incidence of an early morning hangover effect." Consider the difference. Consider the benefits. Consider Serax. |
