Alp Tablet 0.5mg

Alp Tablet 0.5mg contains Alprazolam 0.5mg, a benzodiazepine. Made by Hilton Pharma Ltd, it is prescribed for anxiety disorders and panic disorder. Pack size: 30 tablets.

Uses of Alp Tablet 0.5mg

Alp Tablet 0.5mg is used for short-term relief of severe anxiety that is disabling or causing great distress, and for panic disorder, with or without a fear of open or crowded places. Because of the risk of dependence, it is usually prescribed for a limited period, often alongside other treatments such as talking therapy or a longer-term medicine for anxiety.

How Alp Tablet 0.5mg works

Alprazolam increases the effect of GABA, a natural chemical messenger that calms activity in the brain. This produces a relaxing effect that reduces tension, worry and panic fairly quickly. The same calming action explains why it can cause drowsiness and slowed reactions.

Possible side effects

Alp Tablet 0.5mg commonly causes some degree of drowsiness. Other frequent side effects include:

• Sleepiness
• Dizziness or light-headedness
• Poor coordination or unsteadiness
• Forgetfulness
• Tiredness

Get urgent medical help for slow or shallow breathing, extreme drowsiness or difficulty waking, especially if it has been taken with alcohol or opioid painkillers.

Precautions and warnings

• Alprazolam is a controlled medicine that can cause tolerance and dependence; use it only as prescribed and for the shortest time possible.
• Never stop it suddenly after regular use, as this can cause withdrawal symptoms such as rebound anxiety, sleeplessness and, rarely, fits; your doctor will reduce the dose gradually.
• Do not drink alcohol or take opioid painkillers, sleeping tablets or other sedatives with it.
• Do not drive or operate machinery while taking it, and take extra care to avoid falls if you are older.
• It is generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so tell your doctor if either applies to you.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
