Buspirone (commonly known as Buspar) is an anxiolytic medication used to treat anxiety disorders, including conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and social phobia. It may also be used for other anxiety-related disorders. This drug works by eliminating the mental and autonomic symptoms of fear and anxiety. The therapeutic effects of Buspar develop gradually, typically after one to two weeks, with maximum therapeutic results observed after one month of continuous use.
Buspirone is indicated for anxiety states of various origins, especially when accompanied by symptoms such as:
The dosage is determined individually based on the patient's health before treatment. The duration of treatment is also selected on a case-by-case basis under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It is recommended to combine drug intake with sociotherapeutic and psychotherapeutic measures for maximum effectiveness. Buspar is typically taken orally with water, with or without food, and should not be crushed or chewed. Do not exceed the prescribed dosage, and consult with your doctor regarding the correct dosage for your condition.
Before starting Buspirone, inform your doctor if you have any allergies, or if you have conditions such as bipolar disorder, eye problems, liver or kidney disease. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to side effects.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time of your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your normal dosing schedule. Do not double your dose to make up for a missed one.

Store Buspirone at room temperature (68-77°F / 20-25°C) away from light, moisture, and heat. Do not store medications in the bathroom. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Anxiety or stress from everyday situations usually do not require treatment with anxiolytics like Buspirone. Patients should avoid activities that require concentration or quick psychomotor reactions during treatment. Although Buspirone is effective and has a good safety profile, it is a relatively new drug and may not be prescribed as frequently.
