What is Eden?

Eden is in a group of drugs called benzodiazepines (ben-zoe-dye-AZE-eh-peens). Eden affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause anxiety.

Eden is used to treat anxiety disorders or alcohol withdrawal.

Eden may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Eden indications

An indication is a term used for the list of condition or symptom or illness for which the medicine is prescribed or used by the patient. For example, acetaminophen or paracetamol is used for fever by the patient, or the doctor prescribes it for a headache or body pains. Now fever, headache and body pains are the indications of paracetamol. A patient should be aware of the indications of medications used for common conditions because they can be taken over the counter in the pharmacy meaning without prescription by the Physician.

Eden description

sponsored

A carbamate with hypnotic, sedative, and some muscle relaxant properties, although in therapeutic doses reduction of anxiety rather than a direct effect may be responsible for muscle relaxation. Eden has been reported to have anticonvulsant actions against petit mal seizures, but not against grand mal seizures (which may be exacerbated). It is used in the treatment of anxiety disorders, and also for the short-term management of insomnia but has largely been superseded by the benzodiazepines. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p603) Eden is a controlled substance in the U.S.
