1. What RIZEN is and what it is used for

RIZEN contains the active substance clotiazepam, which belongs to a group of medicines called benzodiazepines.
RIZEN is used to treat anxiety, tension, and related disorders.
This medicine is also indicated for the treatment of insomnia. All benzodiazepines should be used only when the condition is severe enough to cause significant disability or distress.

2. What you need to know before taking RIZEN

Do not take Rizen

  • if you are allergic to the active substance or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • if you suffer from severe myasthenia gravis, a condition in which the muscles are very weak
  • if you have severe breathing difficulties
  • if you have severe liver problems
  • if you have a sleep disorder caused by partial or complete blockage of the airways during sleep (obstructive sleep apnea syndrome)
  • if you have a condition of the eye called narrow-angle glaucoma, characterized by high pressure inside the eye.

Rizen must not be used in children under 6 years of age.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor before using Rizen. Your doctor should pay particular attention if:

  • you have liver, kidney or heart problems, as your dose may need to be adjusted
  • you have a history of alcohol or drug abuse
  • you suffer from depression or psychiatric disorders
  • you have epilepsy
  • you are elderly
  • you have brain disorders, including disorders of the blood vessels in the brain
  • you have chronic respiratory problems
  • you experience intense tiredness (asthenia).

Elderly patients:
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Rizen if:
you are over 65 years of age. This is because elderly patients may be more sensitive to adverse reactions
such as drowsiness, dizziness and muscle weakness. There is also an increased risk of falls, which may
lead to serious injuries.
Other important information
Rizen, when taken for several weeks, may become less effective. If you notice that the medicine becomes
less effective, inform your doctor.
The use of medicines such as Rizen may lead to physical and psychological dependence. The risk increases
with higher doses and longer duration of treatment, and is greater in patients with a history of alcohol or
drug abuse. For this reason, treatment should be as short as possible.
The dose of Rizen should be gradually reduced to avoid "withdrawal syndrome",
characterized by unpleasant side effects (see section 3, "If you stop taking
Rizen").
You may experience amnesia (partial or complete loss of memory) during treatment with Rizen.
To avoid this, it is important that you have uninterrupted sleep of 7–8 hours (see section 4, "Possible
side effects").
Effects such as agitation, restlessness, hyperactivity, aggression, irritability,
nightmares or hallucinations ("paradoxical psychiatric reactions") may occur. If you experience such effects,
treatment must be stopped and you must contact your doctor. These reactions are more frequent in children
and elderly patients.
Children and adolescents
Rizen must not be used in children under 6 years of age.
In children over 6 years of age, Rizen may be administered only after careful
assessment of the need for treatment, and the treatment period should be as short
as possible.
Other medicines and Rizen
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines, including those not requiring a prescription. In particular, tell your
doctor if you are taking:

  • medicines that depress brain activity, such as antipsychotics, hypnotics, anxiolytics/sedatives, antidepressants (such as MAO inhibitors), analgesics, narcotics, antiepileptics, anaesthetics or sedative antihistamines, as Rizen may increase the sedative effect of these medicines
  • theophylline (used to treat asthma and lung problems), as it may affect the effectiveness of Rizen
  • concomitant use of Rizen and opioids (medicines used to treat severe pain, for substitution therapy, and some cough suppressants) increases the risk of drowsiness, breathing difficulties (respiratory depression), coma, and life-threatening events. Therefore, concomitant use should only be considered when no other treatments are possible.

However, if your doctor prescribes Rizen together with opioids, your doctor must limit the dose and
duration of concomitant therapy.
Inform your doctor if you are taking opioid medicines and follow your doctor’s dosage recommendations closely. It may help to inform friends or family members to watch for the signs and symptoms mentioned above. Contact your doctor if you notice such symptoms.
Rizen and alcohol
Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Rizen tablets, as alcohol may increase the sedative effect of Rizen.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
Avoid taking Rizen during the first trimester of pregnancy. After this period, you may take the
medicine only with caution and only if the expected benefits outweigh the risks.
If you take this medicine during late pregnancy or during childbirth, your newborn baby may be less active than other babies, may have low body temperature, or may have
difficulty breathing.
If you take this medicine regularly during late pregnancy, your baby may
develop withdrawal symptoms after birth.
Rizen passes into breast milk and therefore breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment.
Driving and using machines
Rizen may cause sedation, memory loss, loss of concentration, and reduced muscle function, which may impair your ability to drive or operate machinery safely. If your sleep duration has been insufficient, these effects may be more pronounced.
Do not drive or operate machinery if you are affected by these symptoms.
Rizen 5 mg and 10 mg tablets contain lactose
If your doctor has diagnosed you with an intolerance to certain sugars, contact him before taking
this medicine.
Rizen 5 mg contains Sunset Yellow (E 110)
May cause allergic reactions.

3. How to take RIZEN

Young adults and patients suffering from severe discomfort may take 5 to 30 mg of Rizen daily, according to the physician's judgment.

In all cases, the treatment duration should be as short as possible. Your doctor will adjust your dose and the duration of treatment according to your age and clinical condition.
Your doctor should consider dose reduction if you suffer from other medical conditions (see section 2 "Warnings and precautions").

Anxiety, tension, and related disorders
The total duration of treatment is generally up to a maximum of 8–12 weeks, including a gradual dose reduction period.

If you take more Rizen than you should
If you or someone else has taken more Rizen tablets than prescribed, contact a doctor or go to the nearest hospital immediately, taking the packaging with you if possible.
Symptoms of overdose vary depending on the amount taken and may include dizziness, mental confusion, and lethargy. In more severe cases, symptoms may include loss of muscle coordination (ataxia), decreased muscle tone, low blood pressure, breathing difficulties, coma (rare), and death (very rare).

If you forget to take Rizen
Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed tablet.

If you stop taking Rizen
Do not stop taking Rizen without consulting your doctor. Treatment with Rizen should be gradually reduced (tapered off).
If you stop taking Rizen abruptly, your original symptoms may return more severely, and withdrawal syndrome may occur, characterized by headache, muscle pain, extreme anxiety, tension, restlessness, confusion, and irritability. In severe cases, the following may occur: derealization (altered perception of the external world), depersonalization (altered perception of self), hypersensitivity and intolerance to sound, numbness and tingling in the extremities, hypersensitivity to light, noise, and physical contact, hallucinations, or epileptic seizures.

If you have any questions about the use of this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Other medicines and Rizen
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. In particular, tell your doctor if you are taking:

  • medicines that depress brain activity, such as antipsychotics, hypnotics, anxiolytics/sedatives, antidepressants (such as MAO inhibitors), analgesics, narcotics, antiepileptics, anaesthetics, or sedating antihistamines, as Rizen may increase the sedative effect of these medicines
  • theophylline (used to treat asthma and lung problems), as it may affect the effectiveness of Rizen
  • the concomitant use of Rizen and opioids (medicines for the treatment of severe pain, substitution therapy, and some cough medicines) increases the risk of drowsiness, breathing difficulties (respiratory depression), coma, and life-threatening events. Therefore, concomitant use should only be considered when no other treatment options are available.

However, if your doctor prescribes Rizen together with opioids, your doctor must limit the dose and duration of concomitant therapy.
Inform your doctor if you are taking opioid medicines and follow your doctor’s dose recommendations closely. It may be helpful to inform friends or family members to watch for the signs and symptoms listed above. Contact your doctor if you notice any of these symptoms.

Rizen and alcohol
