Treatment should be initiated with a dose of 0.25 to 0.5 mg three times daily. Depending on the response, dose may
be increased at intervals of 3 to 4 days in increments of no more than 1 mg per day. The maximum dose should not
exceed 4 mg/day. Occasional patients with panic disorder may need as much as 10 mg a day to achieve a
successful response and in these cases periodic reassessment and consideration of dosage adjustment is required.
Dosage should be individualized for maximum beneficial effect with a lowest possible dose. If side-effects occur at
starting dose, dose may be lowered. When discontinuing therapy, dosage should be reduced gradually by no more
than 0.5 mg every three days.
In elderly patients or in patients with advanced liver disease, the usual starting dose is 0.25 mg, two or three times
daily and may be gradually increased if needed and tolerated. Safety and effectiveness of Alprazolam in individuals
below 18 years of age have not been established.
Alprazolam XR 1 should be administered once daily, preferably in the morning by patients who are on multiple dosage

Manifestations of Alprazolam over dosage include somnolence, confusion, impaired coordination, diminished reflexes and coma. In such cases of over dosage general supportive measures should be employed along with immediate gastric lavage.
