Xanax

Xanax At Work

To do its job, the active ingredient of xanax - alprazolam, binds at stereo specific receptors at several sites within the central nervous system. Interesting fact here is that the exact mechanism of action of these receptors (known by scientists as "GABAA subtype of the GABA receptor") is unknown; however, as all benzodiazepines, xanax cause a dose-related central nervous system depressant activity varying from mild impairment of task performance to hypnosis. Alprazolam is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and later excreted in urine as glucuronides. Some of the drug is also excreted in unchanged form.
