PHARMACY EDUCATORS TO RECEIVE PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS AT AACP ANNUAL MEETING Alexandria, Va. — The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) will present four pharmacy academicians with the Association’s most prestigious awards for their significant contributions to pharmacy education and their lifetime achievements in the pharmacy profession. They will receive their awards at the 2006 AACP Annual Meeting, Sailing Toward Our Future Success, in San Diego, Calif., July 8 to 12. Barbara G. Wells, Pharm.D., dean of The University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy, will receive the Robert K. Chalmers Distinguished Pharmacy Educator Award for excellence as an instructor, achievements as a researcher and scholar, and her overall impact on pharmacy education and the profession. The award is sponsored by Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for the late Robert K. Chalmers, former AACP president and distinguished educator. The award consists of an inscribed Steuben Owl and a $12,500 prize. Wells has served as a valuable resource in pharmacy education, taking on leadership positions in various pharmacy associations. She served as the 2003–2004 AACP President, during which she focused the AACP agenda on leadership and initiated a multi-year initiative to bring faculty leadership development to the forefront. As part of this effort, Wells was instrumental in the implementation and creation of the Academic Leadership Fellows Program. Wells also served as the 2004–2005 American College of Clinical Pharmacy President. "I am humbled and deeply appreciative of this recognition by my peers. For anything that I have accomplished, I owe a debt of gratitude to my students, patients and colleagues for the trust they have placed in me and for affording me the opportunity to learn throughout my career,” Wells said. Wells received her B.S and Pharm.D. from The University of Tennessee College of Pharmacy. Paul R. Ortiz de Montellano, Ph.D., professor at the University of California at San Francisco School of Pharmacy, felt a “glow of appreciation and delight” upon hearing he was the recipient of the Volwiler Research Achievement Award. Sponsored by Abbott Laboratories, the award recognizes outstanding research by an individual holding a full-time appointment at a U.S. pharmacy school, and consists of a gold medal and a $12,500 cash prize. From California to Michigan to New Jersey, both community and faculty pharmacists can only provide positive accolade for Ortiz de Montellano’s contributions as an educator and scientist. “Paul’s immensely impressive publication record of nearly 300 original research papers attests to his extraordinary creativity and productivity. The impact of his career on the pharmaceutical sciences must be measured not only by specific research accomplishments, but also by his exceptional ability to communicate effectively with both students and scientific colleagues,” John A. Thompson, Ph.D., professor at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center School of Pharmacy, said. He has contributed extensively to the pharmacy knowledge of drug metabolism by cytochrome P450 and related enzymes and to the understanding of toxicities that sometimes arise in drug metabolism. Ortiz de Montellano and colleagues are currently working on designing new drugs to treat tuberculosis which is reemerging as a disease difficult to control. He received his B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his M.S. and Ph.D. from Harvard University. The Rufus A. Lyman Award will be presented to Zubin H. Austin, Ph.D., assistant professor at the University of Toronto Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, and Wendy C. Duncan-Hewitt, Ph.D., associate dean of education at Auburn University School of Pharmacy, for their manuscript, Pharmacy Schools as Expert Communities of Practice? A Proposal to Radically Restructure Pharmacy Education to Optimize Learning. The award recognizes the best paper that appears in the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education. Merck & Company, Inc. sponsors the award that consists of an inscribed certificate and a monetary prize of $5,000, divided equally between both authors. The article examines the proposal that if pharmacy education is reconceptualized within a communities of practice framework, a collaborative educational strategy is revealed that can help the profession and its educational institutions deal successfully with many social and professional issues that have led to a foundering sense of shared identity and meaning. In particular, communities of practice will lead to increasing student and pharmacist expertise, expand and enrich the scientific basis for the paradigm of pharmaceutical care, and rationalize the division of labor and faculty workload in the professional program, significantly increasing faculty satisfaction and retention. Austin received his B.S. and M.B.A. from the University of Toronto and his Ph.D. from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. Duncan-Hewitt received her B.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. The winners will receive their awards and engage in a candid discussion on what qualities mark excellence in pharmacy education and research at the Examining Excellence Award Presentation on Sunday, July 9 from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. CREDENTIALED REPORTERS WILL RECEIVE A COMPLEMENTARY PRESS PASS TO THE 2006 AACP ANNUAL MEETING.

This is preceded by a pre-professional program of not less than two years, making the study of pharmacy a six-year commitment. UW's pre-professional pharmacy program will give you a back-ground in general education, mathematics, communication, and the sciences necessary to enter into studies for our professional degree. Our professional program is designed to educate you as a pharmacy practitioner capable of providing primary pharmaceutical care in a rural/frontier environment. Our discipline is firmly based in pharmaceutical sciences, the pathology and physiology of disease, drug therapy, and the understanding of patients, as well as in the skills of critical thinking, decision-making, problem solving, and communication. Your final year will consist of practicums with pharmacy practice faculty and licensed preceptors at their practice sites. When you graduate from the program, you'll be eligible to take the state board of pharmacy examinations. The primary mission of the Board of Pharmacy is to promote, preserve, and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of New Hampshire by fostering the provision of quality pharmaceutical care. The duties of the Board include the licensure of pharmacists, pharmacies, pharmacy technicians and public health clinics located in New Hampshire. The Board also licenses out-of-state mail-order pharmacies, as well as in-state and out-of-state pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors which ship prescription and/or controlled drugs and devices to/from New Hampshire. Other duties in which the Board is responsible include the investigation of pharmacy-related consumer complaints and incidents of prescription/controlled drug diversion. The Board continuously monitors the practice of pharmacy in New Hampshire through the ongoing inspection of pharmacies throughout the state in order to ensure that the citizens of New Hampshire continue to receive the safe, quality pharmaceutical care they have come to expect. 26 May 2006. SAPC publishes Code of Conduct for Pharmacists. The South African Pharmacy Council (SAPC) has published for comment, the Code of Conduct for pharmacists and other persons registered in terms of the Pharmacy Act in the Government Gazette (Board Notice nr 28873) on Friday, 26 May 2006. Interested parties are encouraged to submit written comments on the Code of Conduct. The closing date for comment is 26 June 2006. Read more Misuse and abuse of codeine-containing preparations. The Pharmacy Council would like to appeal to all pharmacists to assist in controlling this problem. Complying with legislative requirements, in particular those that require a pharmacist to intervene in the sale of Schedule 2 medicines will go a long way towards minimising the availability of abused medicines. Failure by pharmacists to apply proper discretion over the sale of such medication could well lead to such discretionary powers being removed by the regulatory authority. Read more High Court rules in favour of SAPC decision.The Cape High Court, on 7 April 2006, dismissed an appeal brought against the SA Pharmacy Council (SAPC) by Mr Riaan Simon, co-owner of Pharmasure Pharmacy in Vasco, contesting the decision to erase him from the Register of Pharmacists.

PHILADELPHIA -- Two doctors helped peddle millions of dollars' worth of diet drugs through an online pharmacy, approving thousands of prescriptions without seeing anyone in person, according to charges filed Wednesday.

"This is high-tech drug dealing," said U.S. Attorney Patrick Meehan. Ahlawat, 42, of Toms River, N.J., and Klinman, 57, of Elkins Park, Pa., reviewed the questionnaires customers sent in with their orders, prosecutors said. Ahlawat reviewed 1,000 to 1,500 a day at times. Their lawyers did not immediately return calls Wednesday. A message left after-hours with RxMedicalOne.com also went unreturned. Prosecutors said more people could be charged in the case. They said five doctors approved more than 350,000 prescriptions from September 2003 to May 2004, most for weight-loss drugs such as Phentermine and Adipex and sleep aids such as Ambien. The indictment also charges pharmacy operator Michael Bezonsky; pharmacist Alexander Atchildiev, who is accused of shipping the drugs without ensuring the prescriptions were valid; and Thomas Beaulieu, who helped Bezonsky run the business. "Fundamentally, the government's theory is that every prescription requires a face-to-face meeting with the equivalent of Dr. Welby, and that is out of step with the Internet world," said Bezonsky's lawyer, John M. Vandevelde. A lawyer for Atchildiev did not immediately return a call. Beaulieu's lawyer, Benjamin Gluck, said his client was charged under a statute in which criminal intent is not required. Since 2000, students nationwide seeking eventual licensure as pharmacists must earn a doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) degree.

First Professional Degrees (B.S., B.Pharm, Pharm. D.) The Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy, Bachelor of Pharmacy, or Doctor of Pharmacy degrees all qualify the recipient for entry-level positions. However, the Doctor of Pharmacy degree is often preferred for employment in hospitals. The two bachelor's degree programs generally require five years to compete, with the first two years being general academic requirements including college-level math, biological sciences, and chemistry. These requirements can sometimes be completed at community colleges, before entering the formal pharmacy program. The Doctor of Pharmacy program also has two years of pre-professional study, but it is followed by four years of professional study, with the fourth year being an opportunity for practice in a variety of settings. There are 81 colleges of pharmacy recognized by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education (311 West Superior, Suite 512, Chicago IL 60610). Thirty-four of them require the Pharmacy College Admission Test(PCAT) for entrance. The exam is given three times a year, in November, February, and April. For more information about the PCAT, write to: Pharmacy College Admission Test The Psychological Corporation P.O. Box 91581 Chicago, IL 60693 Licensure In all states, licensure requires graduation from an accredited college of pharmacy, passing of a State board examination, and an internship of some sort. There is also a special exam for graduates of foreign pharmacy schools who wish to apply for state licensure in the United States. Information about the exam (Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination Information) is available free from: National Association of Boards of Pharmacy 700 Busse Highway Park Ridge, IL 60068 Or at: http://www.nabp.net Information about the requirements for licensure in a particular state should be directed to the Board of Pharmacy of the state or to: National Association of Boards of Pharmacy 700 Busse Highway Park Ridge, Illinois 60068 Or at: http://www.nabp.net Residency Programs and Fellowships: Further training is possible in one or two-year residency programs in a particular area of pharmacy practice, or in pharmacy fellowships, individualized programs to train the participant to become an independent researcher. Graduate Study At least 70 colleges of pharmacy offer advanced study in one of the specialized areas of pharmacy, such as pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacology, pharmacognosy, and pharmacy administration. GRE and TOEFL are frequently required. Such programs lead to Master of Science or Ph.D. degrees, but not to eligibility for licensing as a pharmacist.

C(United States); ? (Australia) Legal status C-IV (US) Routes Oral Phentermine is a phenethylamine primarily used as an appetite suppressant. It is typically prescribed for individuals who are at increased medical risk because of their weight, as opposed to cosmetic weight loss. Phentermine is sold either as an immediate-release formulation (Adipex®) or as a slow-release resin (Ionamin®, Duromine® in Australia and New Zealand). Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Mechanism of action 3 Clinical use 4 Side effects 5 Contraindications 6 Internet Notoriety 7 Related Article 8 External links 9 References and End Notes [edit] History Phentermine is one of two drugs in the Fen-phen anti-obesity medication, the other being fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine. Fenfluramine was withdrawn from the U.S. market in 1997 after reports of valvular heart disease and pulmonary hypertension. Phentermine is still available by itself in most countries, including the U.S. However, because it is similar to the amphetamines, individuals may develop an addiction to it. Hence, it is classified as a controlled substance in many countries. Internationally, phentermine is a schedule IV drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances (PDF file). In the United States, it is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act. [edit] Mechanism of action Phentermine, as many other prescription drugs, works with neurotransmitters in the brain. It is a centrally-acting stimulant chemically related to the amphetamines. It stimulates neuron bundles to release a particular group of neurotransmitters known as catecholamines; these include dopamine, epinephrine (also known as adrenalin), and norepinephrine (noradrenaline). The anorectic activity seen with these compounds would thus seem likely due to this effect on Central Nervous System, which is consistent with current knowledge about Central Nervous System systems and feeding behavior. This is the same mechanism of action as other stimulant appetite suppresants such as diethylpropion, and phendimetrazine. The neurotransmitters signal a fight-or-flight response in the body which, in turn, puts a halt to the hunger signal. As a result, it causes a loss in appetite because the brain does not receive the hunger message. [edit] Clinical use Generally, it is recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that phentermine should be used short-term (usually interpreted as 'up to 12 weeks'), while following nonpharmacological approaches to weight loss such as healthy dieting and exercise. However, recommendations limiting its use for short-term treatment may be controversial. One reason given behind limiting its use to 12 weeks is drug tolerance, whereby phentermine loses its appetite-suppressing effects after the body adjusts to the drug. On the contrary, it has been shown that phentermine did not lose effectiveness in a 36-week trial (PMID 11054601). Due to the risk of insomnia, it is generally recommended that the drug be taken either before breakfast or 1-2 hours after breakfast. [edit] Side effects Generally, phentermine appears to be relatively well tolerated.[1] It can produce side effects consistent with its chycardia]], increased alertness, but the incidence and magnitude of these appear to be less than with the amphetamines. Because phentermine acts through sympathomimetic pathways, the drug ug on a long-term basis may develop euphoria and a psychological addiction [edit] Contraindications Phentermine should generally be avoided in patients with: Agitation Allergy/Hypersensitivity to other sympathomimetic amines Atherosclerosis Cardiovascular disease Glaucoma High blood pressure Hyperthyroidism Previous history of drug abuse Additionally, this drug should not be used at the same time or within 14 days following the use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors. [edit] Internet Notoriety Recently, phentermine has drawn the ire of many internet users. The medication is one of the most commonly used terms in spam e-mails and bulletin board postings by bots.

Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children. Phentermine is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle Phentermine is a helper. Have you ever thought about your food habits? Perhaps you have some that don't allow you to lose weight? Try to answer the following questions: Do you think you have to eat everything that is on the plate? When at someone's place, do you ask for more just to please the host? Do you often have meals while walking? Are you feeling like eating when in a bad mood? Do you sometimes take more meals even when you are full? Do you eat more than usual when annoyed or excited? Do you have snacks while reading, or watching TV, or surfing the web? Do you finish your meals fast? Looking in the fridge when nothing to do? Can you name all of your yesterday meals? It's not hard to tell that positive answers to all the above (except the last question) prove your habits to be disastrous. You are eating not because you are hungry. E.g. "Yes" to the second and the fifth question mean that you eat when full to please the others. Be strong; remember that friends indeed would always support you in your quest for loosing weight. If you have answered "yes" to the first question then you can't trash the food. You must be often trying the dishes while cooking or just without any schedule. Take a "Carrot or Cookie" test. Ask yourself, what are you feeling like more? If you are really hungry neither would get a favor. Choose a carrot then. If you have positive answers to the third, seventh and eighth question you have to change the style of having meals: when you eat fast or while walking or doing other stuff, it is hard for you to track the amount of food consumed. Serve the table, sit down, relax and start... slowly. "Yes" to #4, #6 and #9 mean that you are ruled by your mood, not your appetite. You better move to get rid of boredom or anxiety. Walking, biking, tennis will help you to relax. There is also another way: warm bathing. And finally, having "No" for the tenth question, you have to think about yesterday menu. Perhaps you had too many tasty things you'd prefer to forget about? Remember them as your yesterday weakness, it'll help you to be more reasonable in your meals today. Do you see now how having an appetite suppressant such as phentermine can help you benefit in loosing weight? Do you see now that it will take some efforts from you too? Starting an Exercise Plan along with phentermine course Beginning and exercise plan can take a little planning on your part if you have not been exercising for some time now. If you are overweight, or if you want to tone your body, starting an exercise plan is always a great topic to think about. If you want to start an exercise plan, and lose weight, Phentermine is a diet aid that works wonders in controlling your appetite, giving you extra energy, and it has a way of keeping you on track focusing on your exercise plan. First, you need to sit down and think about what you want to accomplish. If it has been a long time since you have done any type of exercising you will want to start out slowly and then build up to more exercises and more demanding exercises to get your body moving. It is important to start out slowly because your body is not accustomed to movements and stress. The additional movements and stress on your body urge your muscles to work, and in turn, you will burn calories. Through diet and exercise, your body will burn calories and will help you slim down, losing weight to hit the goals you have set for yourself. No one can do the exercise for you, this is something you have to plan and follow through with. Setting goals for an exercise plan can boost your health for years to come! A combination of exercise and the use of Phentermine does produce results. It is important to realize there is no magic pills that will help you lose weight without adding exercise to your plan. Exercise is a major fundamental in burning calories. Burning calories is going to help you to shed weight and it will tone your muscles. As you begin your exercise program you may feel the need to eat more but Phentermine controls that hunger so you eat less, and burn more calories during your exercise routines. The second step in a successful exercise plan is to form goals such as when you will exercise, what exercises you will be doing, and how you are going to track yourself. When you will exercise, can be any time of the day. If you need to make more time, make more time! Exercise can be something you perform, in your home, in the office, in the gym or even at a friend's house. Exercise should become a regular part of your day, even if it is just for ten minutes a day - which will be all you need it you stick to it. Now you have set times when you are going to exercise. This could be three times a week, four times a week or even every day depending on how long you are going to exercise. Exercising shorter amounts of time will require you to exercise more days per week. If you were to dedicate twenty minutes three times a week you can stick to that three days a week and lose weight, meeting your goals. Setting goals is another thing you should do when starting an exercise plan. What you will do is set your goal at a good pace. Say, three pounds a week, or so many hours a week, or you want to be down a size per month. Phentermine controls your appetite, so when you exercise you are burning calories from your body, which is how the overall plan of diet and exercise works together to help you meet your exercise goals. Exercise can be done right in your home or in your office.

Alprazolam is a short-acting drug in the benzodiazepine class used to treat anxiety disorders and as an adjunctive treatment for depression. Alprazolam was invented by Pfizer and is marketed under the trade name Xanax. Its patent expired in September 1993. Pharmacology Alprazolam is a triazolobenzodiazepine, that is, a benzodiazepine with a triazolo-ring attached to its structure. Alprazolam binds to the GABAA subtype of the GABA receptor, increasing inhibitory effects of GABA within the central nervous system. The binding site for benzodiazepines is distinct from the binding site for barbiturates and GABA on the GABA receptor. Unlike other benzodiazepines, alprazolam may also have some antidepressant activity, although clinical evidence of this is lacking. Pharmacokinetics The mechanism of action is not fully understood; However, Alprazolam is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The peak plasma concentration is achieved in 1-2 hours. Most of the drug is bound to plasma protein, mainly albumin. Alprazolam is hydroxylated in the liver to ?-hydroxyalprazolam, which is also pharmacologically active. This and other metabolites are later excreted in urine as glucuronides. Some of the drug is also excreted in unchanged form. Indications alprazolam 2mg tablet bottleThe main medical uses for alprazolam include: Treatment of panic disorder, with or without agoraphobia. Alprazolam is very effective in preventing panic attacks. However, despite its efficacy, many psychiatrists are reluctant to use alprazolam for this condition because of the possibility of dependence and interdose ("breakthrough") anxiety due to its short-acting nature. An extended-release formulation of alprazolam known as Xanax XR® was introduced in 2001 and is often preferred. Treatment of panic attacks. Alprazolam is taken as needed (PRN); 4 to 6 doses per day are the acceptable limit. If dependence seems to develop and/or the limit is exceeded, therapy may be reconsidered and/or discontinued. Long-term treatment of severe generalized anxiety disorders. Alprazolam may be used for long-term treatment of anxiety if other therapies either do not work or are contraindicated. Duration of therapy in this case is often four months or longer. The decision to use alprazolam for this purpose must be carefully made by a specialized psychiatrist, taking into account the individual's suffering, quality of life, loss of social performance and risk of dependence. Adjunctive treatment of depression. SSRIs (e.g. sertraline or fluoxetine) are often co-administered with alprazolam at the outset of long-term SSRI anxiety treatment in order to counteract the initial anxiogenic (anxiety-producing) effects of SSRI treatment. Tricyclic antidepressants and buspirone are also used with alprazolam in refractory (resistant) cases of generalized anxiety disorder. Other uses. Alprazolam may be used by specialists to treat severe cases of Borderline Personality Disorder. Some studies have shown positive results.

Adjusting the dosage usually causes them to cease. Long-term treatment with alprazolam may lead to physical and/or psychological dependence. Users often develop a tolerance to the drug's sedative effects, though tolerance to its anxiolytic efficacy rarely develops when used at theraputic dosage levels. There is now a general consensus among many psychiatrists that alprazolam (a so-called 'high-potency' benzodiazepine) poses a particularly high risk for misuse, abuse and dependence. Withdrawal after long-term treatment should be done slowly over a period of weeks (or even months) to avoid serious withdrawal symptoms such as agitation, panic attacks, rebound anxiety, muscle cramps and seizures. Some patients may benefit from a substitution with diazepam or clonazepam as these drugs remain in the bloodstream longer and have a somewhat lower risk of dependency. Contraindications Use of alprazolam should be avoided in individuals with the following conditions: Myasthenia gravis Acute intoxication with alcohol, narcotics, or other psychoactive substances Ataxia Severe hypoventilation Acute narrow-angle glaucoma Severe liver deficiencies (e.g. hepatitis and cirrhosis) Severe sleep apnea Hypersensitivity or allergy to any drug in the benzodiazepine class Patients at a High Risk for Abuse and Dependence At a particularly high risk for misuse, abuse, and dependence are: Patients with a history of alcohol or drug abuse and/or dependence Emotionally unstable patients Patients with severe personality disorders Patients with chronic pain or other physical disorders Patients from the aforementioned group should be monitored very closely during therapy for signs of abuse and development of dependence. Discontinue therapy if any of these signs are noted. Long-term therapy in these patients is not recommended. alprazolam 2mg tabletsAlprazolam, like all benzodiazepines, has the potential for abuse, especially in individuals prone to addiction. Although it is not manufactured illegally, it is often diverted to the black market. The state of relaxation, anxiolysis, disinhibition and euphoria induced by benzodiazepines is the main reason for their illicit use. Injecting alprazolam is highly dangerous. When crushed in water, it will not dissolve, potentially causing severe damage to arteries. While it is somewhat soluble in alcohol, the combination of the two, particularly when injected, can easily cause a serious (and potentially fatal) overdose. Alprazolam is sometimes used with other recreational drugs to relieve the panic or distress of dysphoric reactions to psychedelics such as LSD and also to promote sleep in the "come-down" period following use of recreational drugs with stimulant or insomniac properties (such as LSD, cocaine, amphetamines, DXM, and MDMA). It is also often used in conjunction with marijuana or heroin to potentiate the relaxing effect. Alprazolam is often combined with the drug Methadone to produce a unique, Heroin-like "high". It is also sometimes used by heroin addicts to suppress withdrawal symptoms. Insufflating alprazolam is another popular recreational method of administration. This method is short-acting, lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour. Because of fillers, snorting the drug causes moderate nasal inflammation. Users should be very careful when snorting Alprazolam, as when up to 4mg has been insufflated, rare side-effects are more likely to become present. The three dominant ones being 'memory loss', 'loss of motor-function', and 'slurred speech'.

Internationally, alprazolam is included under the United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances[3]. The ability of alprazolam to induce human hepatic enzyme systems has not yet been determined. However, this is not a property of benzodiazepines in general. Further, alprazolam did not affect the prothrombin or plasma warfarin levels in male volunteers administered sodium warfarin orally. In vitro, alprazolam is bound (80 percent) to human serum protein. Changes in the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of benzodiazepines have been reported in a variety of disease states including alcoholism, impaired hepatic function and impaired renal function. Changes have also been demonstrated in geriatric patients. A mean half-life of alprazolam of 16.3 hours has been observed in healthy elderly subjects (range: 9.0-26.9 hours, n=16) compared to 11.0 hours (range: 6.3-15.8 hours, n=16) in healthy adult subjects. In patients with alcoholic liver disease the half-life of alprazolam ranged between 5.8 and 65.3 hours (mean: 19.7 hours, n=17) as compared to between 6.3 and 26.9 hours (mean=11.4 hours, n=17) in healthy subjects. In an obese group of subjects the half-life of alprazolam ranged between 9.9 and 40.4 hours (mean=21.8 hours, n=12) as compared to between 6.3 and 15.8 hours (mean=10.6 hours, n=12) in healthy subjects. Because of its similarity to other benzodiazepines, it is assumed that alprazolam undergoes transplacental passage and that it is excreted in human milk.
