Alora 0.25 MG Description

Alora tablet is a prescription medication that is used to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorder and anxiety related to depression. Anxiety disorder is a mental health condition characterised by epi

sodes of fear, worry, nervousness, sweating and rapid heartbeat. At the same time, panic attacks are caused due to overstimulation of the nerve cells in the brain. Alora tablet contains Alprazolam as their active ingredient, which belongs to the benzodiazepine class of medications. This medicine works by balancing the chemical substance Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which slows down brain activity and produces a feeling of relaxation, calmness and induces sleep. Thus, it helps in reducing the feelings of worry and nervousness in patients with anxiety. Alora tablets should be taken in the prescribed dosage and duration as advised by your doctor. This medication should not be stopped suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it can worsen your condition or may lead to withdrawal-like symptoms.
