Buspar Information

Buspirone at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

The brand-name Buspar has been discontinued by its manufacturer and is generally unavailable.

Generic buspirone is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards. The specific manufacturer of your dispensed medication may vary.

Important Information about Generic Buspirone:

Generic buspirone contains the same active ingredient as the brand-name Buspar and is required to meet the same safety, effectiveness, and quality standards as the brand-name product. This means it is designed to work in the same way as Buspar. Studies have demonstrated bioequivalence between generic and brand-name buspirone, meaning they have comparable absorption rates and overall effects. However, individual responses to any medication can vary. If you have any questions about using generic buspirone, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

For more information about generic drug approval and bioequivalence, you can visit the FDA website: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/buying-using-medicine-safely/generic-drugs

Dosage:

Buspirone is available as 5 mg and 10 mg oral tablets.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on the individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Buspar (buspirone) is a prescription medication primarily used for the management of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). It helps to reduce the emotional and physical symptoms of anxiety, such as nervousness, tension, irritability, dizziness, and a pounding heartbeat. As it is not an immediate-acting medication, its full benefits are typically observed after 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use.

Mechanism of Action:
Buspar (buspirone) is an anxiolytic medication that works by influencing brain chemicals, chiefly serotonin and dopamine. Its primary action involves partially activating serotonin 5-HT1A receptors, which helps regulate mood and reduce anxiety. Buspirone also affects dopamine receptors, notably by blocking D2 receptors (and having an effect on D3 and D4 receptors). These combined actions help alleviate your anxiety.

Use Buspar exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the patient information leaflet | Drugs.com. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before using Buspar, it is essential to discuss all potential side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

The information below is a partial list of side effects; individual reactions can vary. Before starting Buspar, it is crucial to discuss potential side effects and risks with your doctor or pharmacist.

• Involuntary, uncontrollable movements of the body

Contraindications:

This is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. It is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are using with your doctor or pharmacist before starting Buspar.

Buspar should not be used if:
• You are allergic to buspirone or any of the inactive ingredients in Buspar
• You have taken an MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days

Alcohol:

Driving and Operating Machinery:

Serotonin Syndrome:
Buspar can cause a rare but potentially life-threatening condition known as serotonin syndrome. This condition can cause significant changes in how your brain, muscles, and digestive system work. You are likely to develop serotonin syndrome if you take buspirone with certain antidepressants or migraine medications.

Withdrawal:
Do not stop taking Buspar without talking to your doctor. Although Buspar is not associated with severe withdrawal symptoms like other anxiety medications, always inform your doctor before stopping or reducing your dose of Buspar or changing your medicine.

Drug Interactions:

Before using Buspar, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete information about potential drug interactions, consult the product monograph in Canada and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Buspar can interact with other medicines, but is not limited to trazodone, diazepam, propranolol, warfarin, digoxin, erythromycin, ketoconazole, ritonavir, dexamethasone, phenytoin, and cimetidine.

Grapefruit:
Do not consume grapefruit juice or products containing grapefruit when using Buspar. Grapefruit can increase the amount of the drug in your body, increasing the risk of side effects.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

If you are pregnant or become pregnant, tell your doctor before using Buspar. It is unknown if buspirone will harm an unborn baby. It is crucial to discuss the risks and benefits of using Buspar with your doctor before using it. If you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed, inform your doctor. It is unknown if buspirone is excreted in human breast milk. Discuss the risks and benefits of using Buspar with your doctor before using it.

Why is Buspar more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Prescription drug prices, including Buspar, are generally lower in Canada than in the US due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations.
