How alprazolam works
Alprazolam enhances the effect of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the GABA-A receptor, producing rapid anxiolytic, sedative and muscle-relaxant effects. Its short half-life makes it especially effective for acute panic episodes — but the same rapid clearance can cause rebound anxiety and makes it more habit-forming than longer-acting benzodiazepines.
What Ksalol 1 mg is used for
- Generalized anxiety disorder (short-term)
- Panic disorder — both scheduled and as-needed doses
- Anxiety associated with depression (as adjunct)
How to take Ksalol safely
- Take exactly as prescribed. Typical adult starting dose is 0.25–0.5 mg three times daily; adjust only under medical guidance.
- Short-term use only. Alprazolam has among the highest dependence risk of any benzodiazepine.
- Do not stop abruptly. Withdrawal from alprazolam can include severe rebound anxiety, insomnia and seizures. Always taper slowly under medical supervision.

Do not combine Ksalol with
- Alcohol — potentially fatal CNS and respiratory depression
