Other: addiction, drug addiction, decreased blood pressure; rarely - respiratory center depression, impaired vision (diplopia), bulimia, weight loss, tachycardia, anterograde amnesia. With a sharp decrease in dose or stopped taking: the withdrawal syndrome (irritability, headache, anxiety, agitation, excitement, fear, nervousness, sleep disturbances, dysphoria, spasm of smooth muscles of internal organs and skeletal muscles, depersonalization, increased sweating, depression, nausea, vomiting, tremors, disorders of perception, including paresthesia, photophobia, tachycardia, seizures, hallucinations, rare - acute psychosis).

Using during pregnancy and breastfeeding Oxazepam Apotex causes toxic effects on the fetus and increases the risk of birth defects when used in the I trimester of pregnancy. Therapeutic doses in the later stages of pregnancy can cause neonatal CNS depression. The constant use during pregnancy can lead to physical dependence with the development of withdrawal syndrome in the newborn. Children especially at a younger age are very sensitive to the central nervous system depressing action of benzodiazepines.
