Farmapram

Farmapram is a brand name for alprazolam, a medication in the benzodiazepine class. It is used primarily to treat anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and panic disorder. Alprazolam works by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that reduces brain activity and has a calming effect on the nervous system.

Farmapram is typically available in 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, and 2 mg tablets. The dosage depends on the condition being treated and the individual's response to the medication.
