What Are the Side Effects of Mylan A1?

Mylan A1 is the inscription written on a type of alprazolam tablet, a generic prescription medication. Despite its effectiveness for treating anxiety, Mylan A1 poses a risk for side effects in some patients.

  1. Types of Common Side Effects

    • The most common side effects of Mylan A1 include menstrual irregularity, decreased appetite, abnormal ejaculation, constipation, impotence, changes in libido or weight, the complete absence of menstruation and excess saliva.

    Time Frame

    • Some of the common side effects of Mylan A1 develop when you first begin to take the medication and gradually diminish as your body becomes acclimated to the drug, according to the Mayo Clinic.

    Drug Interactions

    • When taken with other medications that slow down the central nervous system, like anticonvulsants, antihistamines or antidepressants, Mylan A1 poses a risk for respiratory depression, a potentially-fatal condition in which you are not able to get enough oxygen to your body.

    Risks

    • If Mylan A1 use suddenly stops, there is a risk for severe panic attacks or seizures due to withdrawal of the drug. Additionally, some patients develop suicidal thoughts when beginning treatment with Mylan A1.

    Considerations

    • Because Mylan A1 has the potential to cause fetal harm, doctors do not prescribe the drug for pregnant women. If you have a history of depression, epilepsy, lung disease, glaucoma or disease that affects your kidneys or liver, it may not be safe for you to take Mylan A1, cautions the Mayo Clinic.
