Mechanism of Action of Alprazolam

Alprazolam or generic xanax medication enhances the action of human body's GABA (Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid). GABA is the nervous system's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, found in the brain and spinal cord. Neurotransmitters enable the brain cells or neurons to transmit impulses from one to another. Impulses are released from one neuron to other neurons by electrical signals. The action of GABA is just opposite to neurotransmitters, it tells neurons to slow down. About 40% of the millions of neurons all over the brain respond to GABA. Under the influence of GABA the neurons slow down or stop working.
