About
Alprazolam, commonly known as Xanax, is a prescription medication used to treat anxiety and panic disorders. It belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines, which work by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, resulting in a calming effect and reducing anxiety symptoms.
