How effective are Japanese Restas tablets 2 mg for anxiety and stress (flutoprazepam)?

Restas tablets’ active ingredient is flutoprazepam, a benzodiazepine derivative patented in Japan in 1972. It acts on benzodiazepine receptors in the brain, helps to relax muscles and provides sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic and anticonvulsant effects. Restas tablets are effective for the treatment of the following diseases and conditions:

• anxiety, tension, depression, fatiguability or sleep disorder associated with neurosis,
• psychosomatic disorder (hypertension, gastric or duodenal ulcers, chronic gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome),
• physical symptoms of psychosomatic disorders,
• severe insomnia.

Due to its long-acting active metabolites, flutoprazepam is longer acting than diazepam or many other benzodiazepines.  

Who should take Restas tablets 2 mg from Japan?

Restas tablets can be used for the patients of wide age range, from 16 to 65. Studies showed that flutoprazepam’s effectiveness is not affected by patient’s age and is more likely to depend on dosage (R. Realini, R. Mascetti et al. “Flutoprazepam in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorders: A dose-ranging study”. Current Therapeutic Research, 1990, 47(5), 860–868). 4 mg a day is proven to be the most effective dosage, acting more markedly and rapidly than both lower and higher concentrations.
