Keep for yourself Search for analogues ⚠️ The state registration of this drug has been canceled Description of the active ingredients of the preparation Xanax ® (Xanax ® ) The scientific information provided is general and cannot be used to make decisions. Update date: 2020.11.07 Marketing authorization holder:PHARMACIA, NV/SA (Belgium) ATX code: N05BA12 (Alprazolam) Active substance: alprazolam (alprazolam) Rec.INN WHO registered Dosage form
Release form, packaging and composition drug Xanax®10 pcs. - cellular contour packings (3) - packs of cardboard. Clinical and pharmacological group: Anxiolytic (tranquilizer) Pharmacotherapeutic group: Anxiolytic agent (tranquilizer) Pharmacological action Anxiolytic (tranquilizer), triazolo-benzodiazepine derivative. It has an anxiolytic, sedative, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, central muscle relaxant effect. The mechanism of action is to enhance the inhibitory effect of endogenous GABA in the CNS by increasing the sensitivity of GABA receptors to the mediator as a result of stimulation of benzodiazepine receptors located in the allosteric center of postsynaptic GABA receptors of the ascending activating reticular formation of the brainstem and intercalary neurons of the lateral horns of the spinal cord; reduces the excitability of the subcortical structures of the brain (limbic system, thalamus, hypothalamus), inhibits polysynaptic spinal reflexes. Pronounced anxiolytic activity (reduction of emotional stress, weakening of anxiety, fear, anxiety) is combined with a moderately pronounced hypnotic effect; shortens the period of falling asleep, increases the duration of sleep, reduces the number of night awakenings. The mechanism of hypnotic action is to inhibit the cells of the reticular formation of the brain stem. Reduces the impact of emotional, vegetative and motor stimuli that disrupt the mechanism of falling asleep. PharmacokineticsAfter oral administration, alprazolam is rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. C max in blood plasma is achieved within 1-2 hours. Plasma protein binding is 80%. Metabolized in the liver. T 1/2 averages 12-15 hours. Alprazolam and its metabolites are excreted mainly by the kidneys. Indications of the active substances of the drug Xanax® Anxiety, neurosis, accompanied by feelings of anxiety, danger, restlessness, tension, worsening of sleep, irritability, as well as somatic disorders; mixed anxiety-depressive states; neurotic reactive-depressive states, accompanied by a decrease in mood, loss of interest in the environment, anxiety, loss of sleep, loss of appetite, somatic disorders; anxiety states and neurotic depressions that have developed against the background of somatic diseases; panic disorder with and without phobia symptoms.

Dosage regimenThe method of administration and dosing regimen of a particular drug depends on its form of release and other factors. The optimal dosage regimen is determined by the doctor. Compliance of the dosage form of a particular drug with indications for use and dosing regimen should be strictly observed. Individual. It is recommended to use the minimum effective dose. The dose is adjusted during treatment, depending on the effect achieved and tolerability. If it is necessary to increase the dose, it should be increased gradually, first in the evening, and then in the daytime. The initial dose is 250-500 mcg 3 times / day, if necessary, a gradual increase to 4.5 mg / day is possible. For elderly or debilitated patients, the initial dose is 250 mcg 2-3 times / day, maintenance doses - 500-750 mcg / day, if necessary, taking into account tolerance, the dose can be increased. Cancellation or dose reduction of alprazolam should be carried out gradually, reducing the daily dose by no more than 500 mcg every 3 days; sometimes even slower cancellation may be needed. Side effectsFrom the side of the central nervous system: at the beginning of treatment (especially in elderly patients) drowsiness, fatigue, dizziness, decreased ability to concentrate, ataxia, disorientation, unsteadiness of gait, slowing down of mental and motor reactions; rarely - headache, euphoria, depression, tremor, memory loss, impaired coordination of movements, depressed mood, confusion, dystonic extrapyramidal reactions (uncontrolled movements, including the eyes), weakness, myasthenia gravis, dysarthria; in some cases, paradoxical reactions (aggressive outbursts, confusion, psychomotor agitation, fear, suicidal tendencies, muscle spasm, hallucinations, agitation, irritability, anxiety, insomnia). On the part of the digestive system: possible dry mouth or salivation, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, constipation or diarrhea, impaired liver function, increased activity of liver transaminases and alkaline phosphatase, jaundice. On the part of the hematopoietic system: possible leukopenia, neutropenia, agranulocytosis (chills, hyperthermia, sore throat, excessive fatigue or weakness), anemia, thrombocytopenia. From the urinary system: Urinary incontinence, urinary retention, impaired renal function, decreased or increased libido, dysmenorrhea are possible. On the part of the endocrine system: possible changes in body weight, libido disorders, menstrual cycle disorders. From the side of the cardiovascular system: possible decrease in blood pressure, tachycardia. Allergic reactions: possible skin rash, itching. Contraindications for use Coma, shock, myasthenia gravis, angle-closure glaucoma (acute attack or predisposition), acute alcohol poisoning (with weakening of vital functions), opioid analgesics, hypnotics and psychotropic drugs, chronic obstructive airways disease with initial manifestations of respiratory insufficiency, acute respiratory failure, severe depression (suicidal tendencies may occur), pregnancy (especially the first trimester), lactation, children and adolescents under 18 years of age, hypersensitivity to benzodiazepines. Use during pregnancy and lactationAlprazolam has a toxic effect on the fetus and increases the risk of congenital malformations when used in the first trimester of pregnancy. Chronic use during pregnancy can lead to physical dependence with the development of withdrawal syndrome in the newborn. Reception in therapeutic doses in later stages of pregnancy can cause depression of the central nervous system of the newborn. Use immediately before or during labor may cause respiratory depression, decreased muscle tone, hypotension, hypothermia, and poor suckling (poor neonatal sucking syndrome) in the neonate. Benzodiazepines may be excreted in breast milk, which may make the newborn drowsy and make feeding difficult. experimental studies show that alprazolam and its metabolites are excreted in breast milk. Use in hepatic impairmentAlprazolam should be used with caution in patients with hepatic impairment. Use in Impaired Renal Function Alprazolam should be used with caution in patients with impaired renal function. Use in childrenContraindication: children and adolescents under 18 years of age. Use in the elderlyFor elderly or debilitated patients, the initial dose is 250 mcg 2-3 times / day, maintenance doses - 500-750 mcg / day, if necessary, taking into account tolerance, the dose can be increased. Special instructionsIn endogenous depression, alprazolam can be used in combination with antidepressants. When using alprazolam in patients with depression, there have been cases of the development of hypomanic and manic states. Alprazolam should be used with caution in patients with hepatic and/or renal impairment. In patients who have not previously taken drugs that affect the central nervous system, alprazolam is effective at lower doses compared with patients who received antidepressants, anxiolytics or suffering from chronic alcoholism. With long-term use in high doses, the development of addiction and the formation of drug dependence is possible, especially in patients prone to drug abuse. With rapid dose reduction or abrupt withdrawal of alprazolam, a withdrawal syndrome occurs, the symptoms of which can range from mild dysphoria and insomnia to a severe syndrome with abdominal and skeletal muscle cramps, vomiting, increased sweating, tremors and convulsions. The withdrawal syndrome is more common in individuals who have received alprazolam for a long time (more than 8-12 weeks). Other tranquilizers should not be co-administered with alprazolam. The safety of alprazolam in children and adolescents under 18 years of age has not been established. Children, especially at a younger age, are very sensitive to the inhibitory effect of benzodiazepines on the central nervous system. Avoid drinking alcohol during treatment. Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and mechanisms During the period of treatment, one should refrain from engaging in potentially hazardous activities that require increased attention and speed of psychomotor reactions (driving vehicles or working with mechanisms). Drug interactionsWith the simultaneous use of psychotropic, anticonvulsants, drugs and ethanol, an increase in the inhibitory effect of alprazolam on the central nervous system is observed. With simultaneous use of blockers of histamine H 2 receptors reduce the clearance of alprazolam and increase the inhibitory effect of alprazolam on the central nervous system; macrolide antibiotics - reduce the clearance of alprazolam. With simultaneous use of hormonal contraceptives for oral administration increase T 1/2 alprazolam. With the simultaneous use of alprazolam with dextropropoxyphene, more pronounced CNS depression is observed than in combination with other benzodiazepines, because it is possible to increase the concentration of alprazolam in the blood plasma. Simultaneous intake of digoxin increases the risk of developing intoxication with cardiac glycosides. Alprazolam increases the plasma concentration of imipramine. Co-administration of itraconazole and ketoconazole increase the effects of alprazolam. With the simultaneous use of paroxetine, the effects of alprazolam may be enhanced due to the inhibition of its metabolism. Fluvoxamine increases the plasma concentration of alprazolam and the risk of its side effects. With the simultaneous use of fluoxetine, an increase in the concentration of alprazolam in the blood plasma is possible due to a decrease in its metabolism and clearance under the influence of fluoxetine, which is accompanied by psychomotor disorders. The possibility of an increase in the action of alprazolam with simultaneous use with erythromycin cannot be ruled out.

Xanax is a lethal sedative for teenagers
Addiction is a disease that can affect anyone.
Unfortunately, addictions don't take long to develop. Yes, and highly addictive drugs may seem at first glance, safe drugs. Xanax is such a drug. The drug, designed to help in the fight against insomnia, is easy to buy in pharmacies. Xanax is a medicine that has hidden possibilities. Often it is he who is chosen by drug addicts in pursuit of an inexpensive and affordable buzz.
Even if Xanax is prescribed by a doctor and bought according to a prescription, you should not forget that treatment can cause serious consequences. The strongest sedative quickly causes addiction and should be taken under the strict supervision of a doctor and only in the doses indicated by a specialist. Exceeding the dosage or increasing the number of doses can become addictive.
Xanax is a form of benzodiazepine that helps with anxiety and insomnia. The drug slows down the nervous system, helps relieve anxiety, a sense of threat. The person calms down, his life rhythm is getting better. But only if you follow all the rules and recommendations for taking the medicine.
In addition to dealing with anxiety, Xanax helps to cope with alcohol addiction. When refusing alcohol, a person experiences feelings of anxiety, panic attacks and other problems, the solution of which is the drug prescribed by the doctor. For medical purposes, Xanax is also used in the treatment of seizures. This is really one of the most effective and effective psychoactive substances, for which drug addicts choose it.

Xanax: how the drug works
Treatment with Xanax rarely leads to addiction if done correctly. But the development of drug addiction due to medical care happens infrequently. Much more often, drug addicts deliberately begin to take pills of the drug.
The human brain is a receptacle for a huge number of gamma receptors (neurons).
They are responsible for anxiety, restlessness, a sense of danger and other symptoms, which are eliminated with the help of Xanax. With severe anxiety, the activity of neurons increases excessively, and the drug helps to “extinguish” it. Xanax acts very quickly - anxiety and panic disappear almost immediately after taking the pill. But addiction develops quickly. Under the supervision of a doctor, the drug is quickly canceled, replacing it with other methods of treatment. With drug addiction, withdrawal does not occur.
Reviews for Xanax vary. For some patients, this medicine helps to cope with the disease. In other people, it causes serious health problems and addiction, which can be felt even between doses prescribed by a doctor.
Xanax is a drug, and if taken the way addicts take it, anyone can become addicted. As a result, there is a feeling of euphoria, lightness, mental activity becomes dull, the body relaxes, mood improves. A long period of Xanax use leads to dementia, mental disorders, poor coordination.
With each new dose of the drug, the condition will worsen, the doses of the drug will increase, the risks to life will increase. If you have been prescribed Xanax for treatment, keep the tablets out of the reach of children and strangers. Carefully monitor your condition and be sure to visit your doctor regularly.

- the addict's speech is confused, slurred;
- severe headaches appear;
- increases sensitivity to noise;
- tremor of hands and whole body develops;

Taking Xanax also affects the state of the gastrointestinal tract. Drug addicts experience stomach pain, diarrhea or constipation. Cardiac activity is disturbed, as a result of which an aggravated feeling of cold appears, a person shakes, freezes even in the heat. Over time, the feeling of euphoria is replaced by increased anxiety, suicidal thoughts, fears appear. This condition cannot last long - a person either goes to a specialized clinic for treatment, or dies.
