Its structural formula is: C 17 H 13 CIN 4 Molecular weight: 308.76 Cas No.: 28981-97-7 DESCRIPTION Alprazolam is a white crystalline powder which is soluble in methanol or ethanol but has no appreciable solubility in water.

Alprax 0.5 tablets also contain pigment blend PB-20026 purple and Alprax 1 tablets also contain indigo carmine. The tablets are gluten free. PHARMACOLOGY Pharmacological properties of alprazolam in animals appear similar to those of other benzodiazepines, that is, it produces significant anxiolytic, muscle relaxant, sleep promoting and anticonvulsant effects in appropriate animal models. The exact site and mechanism of action of benzodiazepines is unknown. It is known that they act within the central nervous system as selective depressants. Clinical studies in healthy volunteers at doses up to 4 mg/day and in patients with panic disorder at doses up to 10 mg/day, produce only effects which can be considered to be extensions of its pharmacological activities. No clinically significant effects on the cardiovascular or respiratory systems were observed. Alprazolam doses up to 10 mg/day do not clinically affect laboratory parameters or vital signs.
