Alprazolam extended-release tablets USP are indicated for the treatment of panic disorder, with or without agoraphobia. This claim is supported on the basis of two positive studies with alprazolam extended-release tablets USP conducted in patients whose diagnoses corresponded closely to the DSM-III-R/IV criteria for panic disorder (see CLINICAL EFFICACY TRIALS ). Panic disorder (DSM-IV) is characterized by recurrent unexpected panic attacks, i.e., a discrete period of intense fear or discomfort in which four (or more) of the following symptoms develop abruptly and reach a peak within 10 minutes: (1) palpitations, pounding heart, or accelerated heart rate; (2) sweating; (3) trembling or shaking; (4) sensations of shortness of breath or smothering; (5) feeling of choking; (6) chest pain or discomfort; (7) nausea or abdominal distress; (8) feeling dizzy, unsteady, lightheaded, or faint; (9) derealization (feelings of unreality) or depersonalization (being detached from oneself); (10) fear of losing contr

benzodiazepine class of central nervous system-active compounds.
The chemical name of alprazolam is
8-chloro-1-methyl-6-phenyl-4_H_-_s_-triazolo [4,3-α] [1,4]
benzodiazepine. The molecular formula is C
H ClN which corresponds to a molecular weight of
308.76.
The structural formula is represented below:
Alprazolam USP is a white to off-white, crystalline powder, which is
soluble in methanol or ethanol but
which has no appreciable solubility in water at physiological pH.
Each alprazolam extended-release tablet USP, for oral administration,
contains 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg, or 3
mg of alprazolam. The inactive ingredients are colloidal silicon
dioxide, hypromellose, lactose
monohydrate, and magnesium stearate. In addition, the 1 mg and 3 mg

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
PHARMACODYNAMICS
CNS agents of the 1,4 benzodiazepine class presumably exert their
effects by binding at stereospecific
receptors at several sites within the central nervous system. Their
exact mechanism of action is
unknown. Clinically, all benzodiazepines cause a dose-related central
nervous system depressant
activity varying from mild impairment of task performance to hypnosis.

Absorption

Following oral administration of alprazolam (immediate-release)
tablets, alprazolam is readily absorbed.
Peak concentrations in the plasma occur in one to two hours following
administration. Plasma levels are
proportional to the dose given; over the dose range of 0.5 to 3 mg,
peak levels of 8 to 37 ng/mL were
observed. Using a specific assay methodology, the mean plasma
elimination half-life of alprazolam has
been found to be about 11.2 hours (range: 6.3 to 26.9 hours) in
healthy adul
