HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Kalma consists of alprazolam. According to dose equivalent, 0.5mg alprazolam is equal to 15mg of oxazepam. In that case, you need 15 mg of oxazepam four times a day. If you have taken, half dose two hours ago, you can repeat complete tablet again. That would you better relief. Rest, you can discuss with your physician.

Thanks
