Benefits of Clampose Injection
In Treatment of Short term anxiety
Clampose Injection reduces the symptoms of excessive anxiety and worry that are triggered only at the time of stressful conditions that last for a shorter duration. These could be job interviews, exams, stage performances, etc. It can effectively manage feelings of restlessness, tiredness, difficulty concentrating and feeling irritable. Clampose Injection will therefore help you go about your daily activities more easily and be more productive.
In Treatment of Muscle spasm
Clampose Injection effectively relieves muscle stiffness or spasm, thereby improving muscle movement. Take it as prescribed by the doctor to get the most benefit. Do not take more or for longer than needed as that can be dangerous and it also has habit-forming potential. In general, you should take the lowest dose that works, for the shortest possible time. This will help you to go about your daily activities more easily and have a better, more active, quality of life.
In Treatment of Epilepsy
Clampose Injection slows down electrical signals in the brain which cause seizures (fits). It can also help reduce symptoms such as confusion, uncontrollable jerking movements, loss of awareness, and fear or anxiety. The medicine can allow you to do some activities that you would otherwise be forbidden or scared to do (such as swimming and driving). It can take a few weeks for this medicine to work (because the dose has to be increased slowly) and during this time you may still have seizures.
In Treatment of Alcohol withdrawal
Clampose Injection is a medicine used, along with social support and counseling, to help people recover from alcohol addiction and to avoid having the urge to drink alcohol again. Clampose Injection starts working from the very first dose and is a very safe and effective way of treating alcohol addiction.
Side effects of Clampose Injection
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
Common side effects of Clampose
- Confusion
- Drowsiness

How to use Clampose Injection

How Clampose Injection works

FAQs
Q. Is Clampose Injection an antidepressant? What is it used for?
Clampose Injection is not an antidepressant and belongs to a group of medicines called benzodiazepine. It is used to treat severe anxiety (an emotional state where you may sweat, tremble, feel anxious and have a fast heartbeat) or agitation. It is also used to treat trembling, muscle spasm due to tetanus or poisoning, seizures or fits, confusional states or anxiety associated with alcohol withdrawal. It also helps in relaxing patients before minor operations or procedures.
Q. How long does it take for Clampose Injection to start working?
It depends on what you are taking Clampose Injection for. If you are taking it to treat anxiety, you should start feeling better within a few hours, but it may take a week or two before the full benefits become evident. Similarly, if you are taking it to relieve muscle spasm you may notice a difference after 15 minutes. Your muscles will start relaxing when you keep taking Clampose Injection regularly for a few days.
Q. Does Clampose Injection cause sleepiness? If yes, then should I stop driving while taking Clampose Injection?
Yes, Clampose Injection causes drowsiness very commonly. It also causes forgetfulness and affects muscular function which may adversely affect your ability to drive. Sometimes, drowsiness persists even on the following day. So, in case Clampose Injection makes you sleepy and affects your alertness, you should avoid driving.
Q. Is it safe to take Clampose Injection and alcohol together?
No, it is not at all recommended to take alcohol with Clampose Injection since it can cause breathing problems, sleepiness and heart problems. Taking Clampose Injection with alcohol may make you sleepy and your breathing may become so shallow that you may not wake up. This may even lead to death.
Q. Is Clampose Injection addictive?
People taking Clampose Injection in high doses or for a long term may become addicted to it. Also, people with a history of alcoholism and drug abuse are more likely to become addicted to Clampose Injection. Therefore, Clampose Injection should be taken for the shortest possible time and in the lowest effective dose.
Q. Can I stop taking Clampose Injection if I start feeling better?
No, do not stop taking Clampose Injection suddenly as you may experience withdrawal effects like depression, nervousness, difficulty in sleeping, irritability, sweating, upset stomach or diarrhea. Stopping it suddenly may even bring back the symptoms and make them harder to treat. You may also experience mood changes, anxiety, restlessness and changes in sleep patterns. These effects may occur even after taking low doses for a short period of time.
Q. For how long should I take Clampose Injection?
The duration of treatment with Clampose Injection is mainly as short as possible. Your doctor will evaluate you after 4 weeks of treatment in order to assess the need of continuation of treatment, especially if you do not have any symptoms. In general, the treatment does not last any longer than 8-12 weeks which includes the gradual reduction of dose process.
Q. Does Clampose Injection have any effect on contraception?
Clampose Injection does not affect the functioning of any type of contraception including the birth control pills and emergency contraception. Birth control pills can keep Clampose Injection in your body for a long time and increase its effect. You can also experience bleeding in between your periods if you take Clampose Injection and birth control pills together. But your contraceptive method will still work.
Q. Is it safe to take clozapine and Clampose Injection together?
No, it is not recommended to take clozapine and Clampose Injection together because the effects of both medicines may get added together. This can result in severe drop in blood pressure, breathing problems (respiratory depression) and can even stop your heart which can lead to death.
Q. Is Clampose Injection safe to be used in elderly patients?
The dose in elderly is generally half of the dose recommended to young people. This is because Clampose Injection causes muscle relaxation which can make the patient fall down, which may further lead to fractures.
