Do not stop using this drug, as it may cause “withdrawal syndrome” or worsening of your symptoms (anxiety, insomnia, mood changes, seizures, etc.)! You should stop using this drug slowly.

We’ll give you an example: If you are taking Apaurine 10 mg, it is necessary to first reduce the dose to 5 mg for 4-5 days, and then again reduce the dose to 2 mg for 4-5 days, after what you can completely stop with using.

Use of Apaurin is not recommended during pregnancy, especially during the first and last trimester, because it can cause cleft lip in babies or cause the fetus to become addicted! This medicine can be used during pregnancy only if the benefit to the mother outweighs the risk to the child.

Avoid breastfeeding while using this drug, because Apaurin passes into breast milk and may harm your baby.
