Buspirone: Uses and Information
Buspirone affects serotonin in the brain to help reduce anxiety and tension. It's used for long-term treatment of anxiety, worry, and restlessness without panic attacks. This includes anxiety that is primary or due to other conditions or alcohol dependence.
Do not use Buspirone if:
- You are allergic to buspirone or any other ingredient in the medication.
- You have severe liver or kidney impairment.
- You have epilepsy.
- You have acute poisoning from alcohol, sleeping pills, painkillers, or antipsychotic drugs.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Buspirone if:
- You use other medications affecting the central nervous system.
- You have narrow-angle glaucoma or myasthenia gravis.
- You have impaired liver or kidney function, a history of drug dependence, or seizures.
Although Buspirone doesn't enhance alcohol's effects, avoid combining it with alcohol.
Children and Adolescents
Buspirone is not recommended for individuals under 18 years of age.
