Abstract
To shed light on the dangers of alprazolam overuse and misuse among Indians, this review analyzed a large number of studies done so far. In this article, we reviewed the likelihood of alprazolam (benzodiazepine – a commonly used medication for panic and anxiety disorders) being among the most commonly abused substances in India in the near future. The review takes into account pharmacological features, addiction neuroscience, epidemiological statistics, sociocultural aspects, availability and effects. It emphasizes the necessity of developing specialized preventive plans, raising awareness and putting in place strong regulatory measures to deal with the new problem of alprazolam addiction and usage in India.
