alprazolam
Alprazolam is a medication primarily used to treat anxiety and panic disorders. It belongs to a class called benzodiazepines, which work by calming excessive brain activity, helping to reduce feelings of fear, worry, and physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat. It can be effective for short-term relief but should be used under a healthcare provider’s supervision due to potential side effects and dependence risks. Alprazolam is usually prescribed in tablet form and should be taken exactly as directed, with caution about combining it with alcohol or other sedatives.
