have the tendency to increase the plasma concentration of alprazolam. that is
why the coadministration of these agents is not recommended.
Risk Of CNS(central nervous
system) Depression:
Patients taking Xanax doses

alcohol. because other drugs’ depressant effects and similar properties of
alcohol will make sedative effects more than tolerable levels. hence, the chance

achieved thus there is a much higher chance of impaired performance.
