Alp (0.25mg) 30 Tablet

Alprazolam is prescribed for anxiety and panic disorders, altering brain chemical actions by selectively binding to GABAA receptors. This binding opens ion channels, allowing chloride ions to enter brain cells, reducing anxiety signals. While effective, prolonged use may lead to tolerance and dependence, classifying Alprazolam as a controlled substance requiring strict medical oversight.
