FAQ
Which pack sizes of Toficalm 50mg can I order?
Toficalm tablets are 50mg of tofisopam, available in packs of 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120 or 180 tablets. Larger packs cost less per tablet.
Is Toficalm delivered discreetly to Hong Kong?
Yes. Every Toficalm order leaves in plain, unbranded packaging with nothing on the outside about the contents. Tracked courier takes 5 to 9 business days with online tracking, while standard airmail is untracked and takes 14 to 21 business days, 30 at most.
What are the alternative names for Toficalm and tofisopam?
Toficalm is a branded generic of tofisopam, the ingredient in Grandaxin. Here, tofisopam can be bought online as Toficalm. These are generics, not the original brand.
Is Toficalm the same as tofisopam?
Yes. Tofisopam is the active ingredient and Toficalm is one of the names it is sold under; each tablet here holds 50mg. In other countries the same ingredient turns up under other brand names, so the ingredient printed on the box is what to match.
Does Toficalm make you drowsy?
Not usually. Toficalm is taken for anxiety rather than as a sleeping tablet, and most people stay awake and alert on it. A few feel sleepy or dizzy during the first days, and that tends to fade as the body gets used to the tablets.
Can I take Toficalm with antihistamines?
It depends which one. The older sedating antihistamines, diphenhydramine being the usual example, and the many night-time cold remedies that contain one, add to any drowsiness from tofisopam. Non-drowsy hay fever tablets such as loratadine do not have that effect.
How should I store Toficalm?
Leave the tablets in their blister strips until each one is needed, and keep the box out of direct sun and away from heat. Heat and damp are what shorten how long tablets stay good, and the strip protects against both.
Does Toficalm cause weight gain?
Weight gain is not among the effects usually reported with tofisopam, so the tablets are unlikely to be the reason if your weight changes. Appetite, activity and other medicines are the more common culprits.
About Toficalm
Toficalm for anxiety, tension and stress
Toficalm is a brand of tofisopam 50mg tablets. Tofisopam is an anxiolytic, which simply means a medicine for anxiety, and it is used for anxiety, tension and stress. It works on the side of anxiety you feel in your body as much as the side you feel in your head — the pounding heartbeat, tight shoulders, restless stomach and short fuse that come with being wound up. Anxiety like that is common. It becomes a problem when it hangs around and starts shaping how your week goes. Worry has causes as well as symptoms — a heavy workload, money trouble, a difficult year — and the tablets work on the symptoms.
How tofisopam works
Tofisopam belongs to the 2,3-benzodiazepine group, a branch of the benzodiazepine family with a different chemical shape from the better-known 1,4-benzodiazepines such as diazepam. It is used as an anti-anxiety medicine rather than a sleeping tablet or a muscle relaxant. Anxiety is not only a feeling: the nervous system drives the racing pulse, clenched muscles and jumpy stomach that come with it, and tofisopam turns down that over-active signalling instead of damping everything down. Most people taking it stay awake and alert through the day.
Taking Toficalm 50mg tablets
The tablets are swallowed whole with water, two or three times through the day rather than all at once. Drowsiness is the thing to plan around. Alcohol adds to it, and so do sleeping tablets, opioid painkillers and sedating antihistamines.
Side effects worth knowing
Dry mouth and a mildly upset stomach are the complaints that come up most, along with headache, some sleepiness or dizziness, and now and then irritability or trouble sleeping. They are usually mild and settle after the first few days. A rash with swelling of the lips, face or throat, or sudden difficulty breathing, needs urgent treatment.
