Brief Answer:
1 interaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

I have done an interaction check and it is shown that artesunate can decrease the blood levels of xanax. I recommend that you speak to your doctor regarding this interaction he might want to increase the dose of Xanax accordingly

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Regards
