The doctor is correct that long-term use of anti-anxiety drugs like alprazolam, diazepam or lorazepam can cause dependency. |
The group of drugs known as benzodiazepines includes alprazolam, chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, and lorazepam. |
According to the indictment, the drugs included alprazolam, hydrocodone, phentermine hydrochloride, and promethazine cough syrup with codeine. |
Use of fast-acting, short half-life benzodiazepines such as alprazolam and lorazepam should be avoided. |
Drug interactions have been shown to occur with alprazolam, warfarin, theophylline, propranolol, and tricyclic antidepressants. |
Tranquillisers such as alprazolam can help reduce anxiety if this is a symptom of PMS, but they should not be used in the long term. |
