ZAXPAM 30MG TABLET belongs to a class of benzodiazepines called 'anxiolytic' or 'anti-anxiety agents' used for short-term (2-4 weeks) treatment of anxiety or panic disorder. Anxiety or panic disorder is a mental health disorder associated with unnecessary fear, worry, and excessive nervousness that may interfere with daily activities. The symptoms of anxiety include feeling more stress than required for that event and a lack of ability to set aside restlessness and worry.
