Assess the client's feelings about alprazolam further.

Treatment for anxiety and panic disorders involves alprazolam. It is a member of the benzodiazepine drug class, which has calming effects on the central nervous system and the brain. It functions by boosting the body's natural chemical's effects (GABA).

When used with other drugs, alprazolam can raise the risk of significant or fatal respiratory issues, drowsiness, or coma. Alprazolam is available as a tablet, an extended-release tablet, an oral disintegrating tablet (a tablet that dissolves fast in the mouth), and an oral liquid concentration.

Typically, two to four times a day is the recommended dosage for the tablet, orally disintegrating tablet, and concentrated solution. One daily dose of the extended-release pill is taken, often in the morning.

polet [3.4K]

The nurse is preparing to administer medications to a group of clients. one of the medications is atropine, an anticholinergic drug. This drug is contraindicated in <u>client with glaucoma</u>.

Anticholinergic Drug- A neurotransmitter called acetylcholine (ACh) works at synapses in the peripheral nervous system. Chemicals called anticholinergics (sometimes known as anticholinergic medications) stop the action of neurotransmitters. The parasympathetic nervous system is suppressed by these medications because they specifically prohibit ACh from adhering to its receptor in nerve cells.

Atropine- Atropine is a naturally occurring tertiary amine (alkaloid) produced from <em>Atropa belladonna</em> (deadly nightshade). It includes hyoscyamine's d and l isomers. It is a non-selective inhibitor of muscarinic receptors.
