The Chemical
Name for xanax is: Alprazolam
Its Brand Name is: Xanax but it is also available as a generic
Its Manufacturers are: Pharmacia and UpJohn
Upjohn had problems in its introduction of the product.
Description: Xanax is in the
benzodiazapine class of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. The exact
mechanism of action is unknown.
Indications and Usage: Xanax is recommended by many doctors for
the management of anxiety disorder or the short-term relief of symptoms of
anxiety. Anxiety or tension associated with the stress of everyday life usually
does not require treatment with an antiolytic medication. Xanax is also
recommended by many doctors for the treatment of panic disorder, with or without
agoraphobia.
Warnings: Even life-threatening effects can be a consequence of physical
addiction to Xanax. Even after relatively short-term use at recommended doses,
there is some risk for addiction to xanax.
"The risk is higher when taking doses over 4mg per day for longer than 8 to
12 weeks. The potential for psychological addiction is more of a risk in
individuals with a history of alcohol or drug abuse. Addiction prone individuals
should be under careful surveillance when receiving Xanax. DO NOT STOP TAKING
XANAX ABRUPTLY. This can cause withdrawal reactions, including seizures. Signs
of withdrawal may include heightened sensory perception, impaired concentration,
dysosmia (distortion of normal smell perception), clouded sensorium,
parasthesias, muscle cramps, muscle twitches, diarrhea, blurred vision, appetite
decreases and weight loss. Anxiety and insomnia have also been reported.
Withdrawal reactions may occur when dosage reduction occurs for any reason,
including forgetting to take a dose. Xanax must be reduced gradually under the
doctor's supervision. Xanax can potentially cause fetal harm in pregnant women.
If Xanax is taken with other psychotropic agents or anticonvulsant drugs,
careful consideration should be given to the pharmacology of the agents to be
employed, particularly with compounds that may potentiate the actions of
benzodiazepines. Alcohol should be avoided while taking Xanax. Xanax may
interact with the following medications: imipramine, desipramine, fluoxetine,
propoxyphene, oral contraceptives, diltiazem, isoniazid, macrolide antibiotics
such as erythromycin and clarithromycin, and cimetidine."
"Adverse Reactions: Possible common side effects include drowsiness and
light-headedness. Less common side effects may include headache, confusion,
restlessness, psychosis, transient hypotension, tachycardia, dry mouth, nausea
and vomiting, constipation and visual disturbances.
Dosing Range: Dosing should be individualized for maximum beneficial effect.
Dosing can range from 0.25mg per day to 4mg per day. Some individuals may
require more depending on a variety of factors."
