What Is Xanax?
|
Xanax, generically known as alprazolam, is a prescription medication primarily used to treat anxiety and panic disorders. It belongs to a class of medications called benzodiazepines, which work by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, producing a calming effect.

Xanax is typically prescribed for short-term relief of anxiety symptoms due to its rapid onset of action, but it can also be used for other conditions under medical supervision. It is important to use Xanax as prescribed by a healthcare provider to avoid dependence and withdrawal symptoms, as it can be habit-forming if misused.
