Ksalol (alprazolam) is available in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as Serbia. Ksalol belongs to a class of medications known as benzodiazepines. It’s prescribed to treat generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder and insomnia.

Ksalol is manufactured by Galenika and comes in three strengths:

  • 0.25 mg
  • 0.5 mg
  • 1 mg

Fake versions of Ksalol purchased illegally online have led to hospitalizations and deaths in Ireland. These counterfeit products have been found to contain fentanyl and other morphine-like substances as well as rat poison.

Alprazolam is available by prescription in the United States. It comes in four strengths:

  • 0.25 mg
  • 0.5 mg
  • 1 mg
  • 2 mg

The starting dosage of alprazolam for generalized anxiety disorder is 0.25 mg to 0.5 mg taken 3 times daily. The maximum recommended daily dosage is 4 mg.
The starting dosage for panic disorder is 0.5 mg taken 3 times daily. For panic disorder, some people require 10 mg daily. Lower doses are recommended for adults ages 65 and older and for people with liver problems. Alprazolam is a controlled substance and carries a boxed warning about abuse, misuse, withdrawal and death. Side effects may include:

  • Coordination problems
