by the clinical investigator(s).
3. Volunteers whose clinical laboratory test values outside the accepted reference range
and, when confirmed on re-examination, were deemed clinically significant.

hepatitis C antibody, or HIV antibody.
5. Volunteers who reported a history of allergic response(s) to alprazolam or related
drugs.
6. Volunteers who reported the use of any systemic prescription medication in the 14
