Answer 1

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.
