About Alzex Forte 0.5 mg/50 mg Tablet

ALPRAZOLAM+SERTRALINE belongs to the class of medications called ‘antidepressant’ used in the treatment of panic disorder with or without agoraphobia (fear of leaving one’s own home or being in open or crowded places).  Panic disorder is characterized by a panic attack in which the patient experiences a sudden feeling of terror even if there is no real danger.

ALPRAZOLAM+SERTRALINE contains Alprazolam and Sertraline. Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine. It works by increasing the activity of GABA (a chemical messenger in the brain that acts as a natural nerve-calming agent). Thereby, ALPRAZOLAM+SERTRALINE relaxes muscles, produces a calming effect, and helps to fall asleep. Sertraline is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It increases the release of the serotonin hormone in the body, which is responsible for improving mood, cognition, and memory.
