Alprazolam

Alprazolam 1 mg is a short-acting benzodiazepine that is used for a number of disorders, such as anxiety, panic attacks, alcohol withdrawal, depression, etc. Alprazolam affects the chemical activity in the brain to promote sleep and to reduce worry and anxiety. The medicine is available to buy without prescription in strength of 1 mg Sleeping Pills.

What Is Alprazolam?

Alprazolam belongs to the benzodiazepine group of medicines. The medicine is approved by the FDA for short-term relief of anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder, a disease characterized by excessive worry for a period of 6 months or longer. In addition to this, alprazolam is also prescribed to individuals who face difficulty in falling asleep. The medicine slows down the activity of the nervous system to induce sleep.

How Does It Work?

Like all other benzodiazepines, Alprazolam works by facilitating the activity of inhibitory neurotransmitter called GABA. It binds and stimulates GABA receptors in the brain and affects the brain's chemical activity to promote sleep and to reduce anxiety and worry.

Alprazolam has the tendency to cause dependence and withdrawal symptoms if used for a long-period. Therefore, the medicine should be used for short-term relief (not more than 12 weeks) of symptoms of insomnia and anxiety.

What Is The Recommended Dosage?

The usual recommended starting dose of Alprazolam for relief from the symptoms of anxiety is 0.5mg administered 3 times daily. As required, this dose can be increased by around 1 mg per day every 4 days up to a total dosage of approximately 10 mg per day, however, the usual preferred total dosage is around 5mg to 6mg per day. Elderly individuals and individuals with liver or kidney impairment may need a reduced dosage. It is recommended that these individuals contact their healthcare providers before taking Alprazolam.
