Description
Azolam 0.25mg Tablets – Alprazolam for Anxiety & Panic Disorders
Azolam 0.25mg Tablets contain Alprazolam 0.25mg, a short-acting benzodiazepine (BZD) manufactured by Martin Dow Pharmaceuticals. Alprazolam acts on the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA-A) receptor in the central nervous system, enhancing the inhibitory effect of GABA — the brain's primary calming neurotransmitter. This produces anxiolytic, sedative, muscle relaxant, and anticonvulsant effects, making it effective for managing acute anxiety and panic symptoms.
Azolam 0.25mg is the lowest commercially available Alprazolam strength, making it suitable for treatment initiation and for patients who are benzodiazepine-naive or particularly sensitive to CNS depressant effects. It is prescribed for generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, and situational anxiety. Onset of action is typically 30–60 minutes with a duration of 4–6 hours.
As a controlled substance, Alprazolam carries a risk of physical and psychological dependence with prolonged or high-dose use. It should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration, strictly under psychiatrist supervision. Sudden discontinuation must be avoided to prevent potentially severe withdrawal symptoms. For patients who later require a higher dose, the 0.5mg formulation (Azolam 0.5mg) is also available at Derma.pk — your psychiatrist will determine the appropriate strength. For broader mental health and neurological medicines, see our General Medicines collection. Derma.pk stocks authentic Martin Dow medicines and delivers to Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and across Pakistan.

FAQs
Is Azolam 0.25mg the same as Azolam 0.5mg?
No. The 0.25mg dose is the lowest available strength — typically used for treatment initiation or in patients sensitive to benzodiazepines. The 0.5mg dose provides stronger effect. Your psychiatrist determines the appropriate dose.
Can I become dependent on Alprazolam?
Yes. Benzodiazepines carry a risk of physical dependence with regular use, especially at higher doses or over long periods. Use only as prescribed and for the shortest effective duration.
What happens if I stop suddenly?
Abrupt discontinuation can cause withdrawal symptoms including rebound anxiety, insomnia, tremors, and in severe cases, seizures. Always taper under medical supervision.
Is Azolam safe to take with other medications?
Alprazolam interacts with opioids, antihistamines, antifungals, and other CNS depressants. Disclose all medications to your psychiatrist.
Is a prescription required?
Yes. Alprazolam is a Schedule IV controlled substance in Pakistan and requires a valid psychiatrist prescription.
