I'm taking alzolam 0.25 mg every day to help with my condition, and I already have high cholesterol. I'm really worried if this medication might affect my cholesterol levels. Can you advise me on this?

Alzolam 0.25mg (Alprazolam) is unlikely to directly increase cholesterol levels, but as a benzodiazepine, it may have indirect effects on lipid profiles; however, if you have pre-existing cholesterol concerns so avoid it for long term usage
