Product Overview

Alprazolam 1 mg Tablets are a trusted, prescription-strength medication belonging to the benzodiazepine class of drugs. Each tablet delivers 1 mg of the active ingredient, alprazolam, USP, designed for oral administration. It is commonly prescribed for the management of anxiety disorders, the short-term relief of anxiety symptoms, and the treatment of panic disorder, with or without agoraphobia.

How It Works

Alprazolam works by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) , a naturally occurring inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. By binding to specific receptors in the central nervous system, it helps to produce a calming effect, reduce excessive nervous activity, and alleviate the physical and psychological symptoms of anxiety. The medication is rapidly absorbed, with an onset of action typically within 1 to 2 hours after oral administration.
