How it works

This product’s leaflet is published as a scanned document. This section quotes the US prescribing label for the same active substance (alprazolam). It describes the substance, not this Bulgarian product — its uses and doses can differ.

Alprazolam is a 1,4 benzodiazepine.

Alprazolam exerts its effect for the acute treatment of generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder through binding to the benzodiazepine site of gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABA A ) receptors in the brain and enhances GABA-mediated synaptic inhibition.

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How the body breaks it down

Alprazolam is extensively metabolized in humans, primarily by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), to 2 major active metabolites in the plasma: 4-hydroxyalprazolam and α-hydroxyalprazolam.

How it leaves the body

Alprazolam and its metabolites are excreted primarily in the urine.
