It can also be used to help manage insomnia (difficulty sleeping) when associated with anxiety.
Toficalm 100 Mg Tab (Tofisopam) belongs to a class of medications called benzodiazepines. It works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in the brain. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that helps to calm and relax the nervous system. By increasing GABA activity, Tofisopam reduces anxiety, promotes sleep, and has a calming effect on the body.
