Anxil 25mg Tablets
Description
Anxil tablet is a prescription medication used to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorder and anxiety related to depression. Anxil tablet contains Alprazolam active ingredient that belongs to the ben
zodiazepine class of medications. 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. Anxil tablet works by balancing the chemical substance Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain that slows down the brain activity and produces a feeling of relaxation, calmness and induces sleep. Thus, it helps to reduce the feelings of worry and nervousness in patients with anxiety. Anxil tablets should be taken in the prescribed dosage and duration as advised by your doctor. Anxil tablet should not be stopped suddenly without consulting the doctor, as it can lead to the clinical worsening of your condition or withdrawal-like symptoms
