Alprazolam

Overview

Basic Info

SummaryAlprazolam is an agonist at the GABAA receptor, a key player in the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) pathway. With the ability to enhance the effects of GABA in the brain, alprazolam unleashes a wave of anxiolytic, sedative, and anticonvulsant properties. Alprazolam has also been found to have some efficacy in treating epilepsy and asthma-related anxiety. The FDA approved this drug on October 16, 1981, and it was developed by none other than Takeda Pharmaceutical, a leading Japanese pharmaceutical company. Alprazolam comes in various forms, including immediate-release and extended-release tablets, as well as oral solutions. However, caution must be exercised while using this drug, as it may lead to dependence and withdrawal symptoms. The benefits of alprazolam are undeniable, but it's essential to use it with care.
