Before Using This Medicine
Geriatrics:
Buspirone has not been systematically evaluated in older patients. Although it would appear from limited pharmacokinetic and clinical studies that buspirone does not behave differently
in the elderly, there is little known about the effects of buspirone in this age group at doses above 30 mg/day. Therefore, it is recommended that buspirone should be used in the elderly at doses not
exceeding 30 mg/day for a duration not exceeding 4 weeks.
|
DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE :
Although preliminary animal and human investigations suggest that buspirone may be significantly devoid of potential for producing physical or psychological dependence, only extensive clinical experie
nce with the drug will provide conclusive evidence. Meanwhile, physicians should carefully evaluate patients for a history of drug abuse and follow such patients closely, observing them for signs of b
uspirone misuse and abuse.

How should you take this medication?
Buspirone comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It usually is taken two or three times a day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any
part you do not understand. Take buspirone exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Continue to take buspirone even if you fe
el well. Do not stop taking buspirone without talking to your doctor, especially if you have taken large doses for a long time. Your doctor probably will decrease your dose gradually. This drug must b
e taken regularly for a few weeks before its full effect is felt.

Possible food and drug interactions when taking this medication
In laboratory studies in healthy volunteers, buspirone in doses up to 20 mg did not potentiate the psychomotor impairment produced by relatively modest doses of alcohol. However, decreased contentedne
ss or dysphoria was observed with a combination of alcohol and a 20 mg single dose of buspirone. Since no data are available on concomitant use of higher doses of buspirone and alcohol, it is prudent
to advise patients to avoid alcohol during buspirone therapy.

Adverse Effects
Post Introduction Clinical Experience:
Post-marketing experience in the US has shown an adverse experience profile similar to that given above. Additional reports have included rare occurrences of
allergic reaction, cogwheel rigidity, dystonic reaction, ecchymosis, emotional lability and tunnel vision. Because of the uncontrolled nature of these spontaneous reports, a causal relationship to bu
spirone treatment has not been determined.
