Is estazolam tablet considered a prohibited substance?

Estazolam tablets are not prohibited items. They are a commonly used benzodiazepine sedative-hypnotic drug in clinical practice and are classified as Category II psychotropic substances under strict national control, requiring a physician's prescription for proper use. In cases of abuse, overdose, or unauthorized trading, individuals should seek medical help promptly or report to the relevant authorities.

Estazolam tablets have effects including anti-anxiety, sedation, hypnotic action, and anticonvulsant properties, and are commonly used to treat conditions such as anxiety disorders, insomnia, and epilepsy. Their production, sale, and use are strictly regulated by national pharmaceutical regulatory authorities and they are not illegal or banned substances.

As a Category II psychotropic substance, estazolam carries potential risks of dependence and misuse; therefore, it cannot be purchased or used casually. It must be prescribed by a licensed physician based on the patient’s condition, and patients must strictly follow medical instructions without altering the dosage, extending treatment duration, or sharing the medication with others.

Estazolam should be taken exactly as prescribed. Avoid taking it with alcohol or other sedative-hypnotic drugs. Store the medication sealed in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children and unauthorized individuals. If dizziness, fatigue, or other discomforts occur during treatment, inform your doctor promptly for appropriate adjustments to the medication regimen.
