Buspirone hydrochloride tablets are indicated for the management of anxiety disorders or the short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety or tension associated with the stress of everyday life usually does not require treatment with an anxiolytic. The efficacy of buspirone hydrochloride tablets have been demonstrated in controlled clinical trials of outpatients whose diagnosis roughly corresponds to Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Many of the patients enrolled in these studies also had coexisting depressive symptoms and buspirone hydrochloride tablets relieved anxiety in the presence of these coexisting depressive symptoms. The patients evaluated in these studies had experienced symptoms for periods of 1 month to over 1 year prior to the study, with an average symptom duration of 6 months.

DESCRIPTION
Buspirone hydrochloride tablets, USP are an antianxiety agent that is
not chemically or
pharmacologically related to the benzodiazepines, barbiturates, or
other
sedative/anxiolytic drugs.
Buspirone hydrochloride, USP is a white crystalline powder. It is very
soluble in water;
freely soluble in methanol and in methylene chloride; sparingly
soluble in ethanol and in
acetonitrile; very slightly soluble in ethyl acetate and practically
insoluble in hexanes. Its
molecular weight is 422. Chemically, buspirone hydrochloride is
8-[4-[4-(2-pyrimidinyl)-
1-piperazinyl]butyl]-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-7,9-dione
monohydrochloride. The molecular
formula C21H31N5O2•HCl is represented by the following structural
formula:
Each buspirone hydrochloride tablet intended for oral administration
contains 5 mg or
10 mg or 15 mg or 30 mg buspirone hydrochloride (equivalent to 4.6 mg,
9.1 mg, 13.7
mg, and 27.4 mg of buspirone free base, respectively). In addition,
each tablet contains
the following inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, lactose
monohydrate,
magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose and sodium starch
glycolate. The 5 mg
and 10 mg tablets are scored so they can be bisected. Thus, the 5 mg
tablet can also
provide 2.5 mg dose, and the 10 mg tablet can provide a 5 mg dose. The
15 mg and 30
mg tablets are scored so they can be either bisected or trisected.
Thus, a single 15 mg
tablet can provide the following doses: 15 mg (entire tablet), 10 mg
(two thirds of a
tablet), 7.5 mg (one half of a tablet), or 5 mg (one third of a
tablet). A single 30 mg
tablet can provide the following doses: 30 mg (entire tablet), 20 mg
(two thirds of a
tablet), 15 mg (one half of a tablet), or 10 mg (one third of a
tablet).
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
The mechanism of action of buspirone is unknown. Buspirone differs
from typical
benzodiazepine anxiolytics in that it does not exert anticonvulsant
