Which medication is commonly prescribed for patients with panic disorder?
Explanation & Rationale
Rationale: A. Sertraline, a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI), is FDA-approved and commonly prescribed for panic disorder as a first-line long-term treatment. B. Citalopram is also an SSRI, but it is not first-line or FDA-approved specifically for panic disorder. C. Lorazepam, a benzodiazepine, can be used for short-term relief of panic symptoms, but it is not recommended for long-term management due to risk of dependence. D. Propranolol, a beta-blocker, may help with physical symptoms of anxiety, such as tremors or tachycardia, but it is not a primary treatment for panic disorder.
