Buspitan-5 Tablets are made of a drug called buspirone, which is used to treat anxiety disorders. Buspirone works by changing the way serotonin works. Serotonin is a chemical messenger in the brain that affects thoughts and mood. Buspirone changes the levels of chemicals in the brain that cause symptoms of anxiety, such as irritability, restlessness, lack of concentration, fatigue, sweating, increased heart rate, and unwanted thoughts.
