Alprax Mt 0.5 MG Description

Alprax Mt tablet is a prescription medication used to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorder, and anxiety related to depression. Alprax Mt tablet contains Alprazolam as its main ingredient, which be

longs to the benzodiazepine class of medications. Alprax Mt tablet works by balancing the chemical substance Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which slows down brain activity and produces a feeling of relaxation and calmness, and induces sleep. Thus, it helps in reducing the feelings of worry and nervousness in patients with anxiety. Anxiety disorder is a mental health condition characterised by episodes of fear, worry, nervousness, sweating and rapid heartbeat. In contrast, panic attacks are caused due to overstimulation of the nerve cells in the brain. The side effects of Alprax Mt tablet are drowsiness, headache, weakness, dry mouth, sleep problems, and lack of coordination. Alprax Mt tablet should be taken in the prescribed dosage and duration as advised by your doctor. Alprax Mt tablet should not be stopped suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it can cause clinical worsening of your condition or may lead to withdrawal-like symptoms.
