Eddie,
Reference your comments on May 15, 2013 on this very forum.....regarding Alprazolam............
I hope I can make a comment, without getting into any trouble with the Monitors, who make
sure everyone obeys the rules. (Good Thing) "My 18 Physician Desk References" and misc.
"REDBOOKS" (Pharmacy's Fundamental Reference), my 3 Latin American (PDR's) titled, "PLM"
for Diccionario De Especialidades, + my activated Dun & Bradstreet Business Informaton Reports,
for USA, and many foreign pharmaceutical conglomerates, "have allowed me to start a consulting
business, on a international level, both on the internet, and with my foreign travel, thru target specific
parties, who are screened, (for my protection) and ISP accounts traced, again for security, in a field
of "data collection" to assist other parties, from getting ripped off, with the proliferation of counterfeit meds
that have infiltrated all 5 continents of the world......big time...since the year 2004.
Examples on alprazolam: Alzam (Adcock Ingram) Zopax (Cipro-Medpro_ and Generic Mylan's version of Alprazolam (better known as Xanax, Tafil, Apraz, etc.) sold in many countries, (Africa) are very, very weak to the experienced person, thus one is not getting what they are paying for. The worst case of counterfeiting, "outside the USA" may be these four drugs...........Roche Valium, Roche Klonopin (USA) called Rivotril, outside the USA, and the 2nd med, is Pfizer Viagra, a Erective Dysfunction pill. Lastly, is, the weight reduction pills...........marketed, as "Adipex-P" (Pentermine Hydrochloride), "Bontril" (Phendimetrazine tartrate) Bontril PDM, with the highest USA/FDA ORANGE BOOK RATING OF "AA" along with the earlier mentioned Adipex P manufactured by Gates Pharma, a subsidiary of USA division of Teva, hdqtrs in Israel. Orange Book Rating "Grade A"

Finally, the appetite suppressant, Diethylpropion hydrochloride, called "Tenuate Dospan" in Australia & Canada.

I apologize if my earlier comments on this great forum, such as my subscriptions of "Martindale, the Extra Pharmacopoeia" (Pharmaceutical Press) by authority of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, last edition had 3,674 pages of verified data.......................were interpreted as "tacky" and "Bragging" I did not intend to be arrogant. Thus my apology. I travel a lot: thus see the maladaptive business model, and the "Bait and Switching" I perceive, and have become a victim of, has greatly humbled me.

Well thank you Ridgerunner007. I'm not sure exactly what you said, and yes this forum is subject to moderation. I find many of my posts that don't go through the first time are lost in the Abyss!

The Mylaun A4 pill is exactly the same as a Xanax bar some people have their general preference of what works better but for your concerns if you found it do be careful kids can abuse this is something to be aware of so if you have children or teens lock it up because it something that needs to be given to patients that need it for anxiety otherwise it can be abused

hotmomma if youve taken xanax for over a year of course you're a druggie dont kid yourself!!!!. Doesn't make you a bad person but the pure fact is that you take benzodiazepines daily and the definition of an addict is someone who takes a substance _3 or more times a week_. So you could say I'm a druggie too!. Most Americans drink coffee everyday, they're druggies also!. We're all druggies!... And about the main question, Alprazolam is alprazolam is fu*king alprazolam!. Dont give a s*** what brand it is, if it's alprazolam active ingredient it's identical to 'Xanax'. Unless you get black market pills or totally crap generics, which is very very very rare. Just like Diazepam and 'Valium'. And the reason so many die when taking oxy. as well as alpraz. is because you really shouldn't mix opiates and benzodiazepines at the same time, if you do, it should be lower doses of both than usual!!.
Peace.

Hi,
I am surprised to read that others like other generic brands than Mylan. Mylas has been the only brand that works for me, I guess because it hits me hard and strong immediately!! It does wear off quickly though....
Now my question is friends who have got Mylan where di they get them from??! I live in California and not even one single pharmacy around me carries it. Even Walmart carries Activis! (sp?)

Thank you.

Pfizer & Upjohn XANAX (or XANOR , TAFIL dependent on country) beats almost any alp on the market in my opinion. Galenika KSALOL 1mg and Gador ALPLAX 2mg are just as good.
I live in the UK and have tried both Mylan USA and Mylan (rest of world) 1mg alprazolam. I found the American Mylan to be dreadfully weak, reminiscent of Indian brands but the Mylan which used to be MERCK generics before the US company bought the much larger German company's Generics Division, the sky blue ovoid, unmarked tablet, is one of the better generic alps I have had.
In fact the only Mylan USA product I have had that I found to be anything above average is the old style 'reservoir' Fentanyl transdermal patch (75 & 100mcg/hr) which were both superb quality and much more effective than any of the 'matrix' patches which now dominate such as Janssen-Cilag D-TRANS DUROGESIC. (Particularly effective and giving 12 hrs analgesia and an hour or two of blissful euphoria when the fentanyl emulsion is dried & a small matchhead sized piece heated gently on aluminium foil and the resultant fumes inhaled through a foil 'tooter').
So no comparison as the question appears to refer to Mylan USA. Their 'A4' 2mg tablet is truly awful. Then again I have only ever found ONE American made alprazolam that is anywhere even close to the quality of most European alps, even the dirt cheap EG and Kela, and that is the excellent GREENSTONE 1mg blue (not the usual purple) G3721 & 2mg G3722 white triscored bar. Unsurprising as it is owned by Pfizer and I believe made in the same factory - could even be the same tablet! But best of all is the South African Pfizer/Upjohn XANOR 2mg which for some unknown reason knocks the socks off the same made anywhere else!

Mylan 5040 is a benzo

Was this helpful? 1
113

Of course it's a benzo. As are A1 and A4. Mylan (ex-Merck Generics) alprazolam 1mg, light blue, biconvex, almost egg-shaped, tablet is a cheap and excellent generic. I have to agree with MICK the Stick down there ?? who suggests that of the huge amount of alprazolam generics made in the USA only one is of the highest quality and YES! It is indeed GREENSTONE! It is a pity that Sandoz GG249 2mg is the most dispensed of any, by a long way, because everywhere else in the world that make and imprint means one thing - GARBAGE! Nobody in their right mind would CHOOSE to use the GG249 bars; they feel like 1mg Cipla Tranax (branded ZOPAX for international market). That is, weak as hell. Very poor quality.

I find myself wondering about two other U.S. 2mg Alps - DAVA green BI-SCORED bars, very strange, but have read from one or two sources that they are decent. Problem is, sources were AMERICAN and therefore unless using XANAX or Greenstone will be used to weak, ineffective, poor quality alprazolam. I need to find out more for myself, accustomed to the brand name and the superb Ksalol and Frontin brands, and also find a vendor who can supply them for diagnostics. Since Actavis took over Purepac I wonder whether the quality of yellow bar P039 (most people here seem to misread the Purepac 'P' as an 'R' for some reason) has improved. Warning- watch out if buying from web-based pharmacies; a Pakistan-made 'brand' called 'ALPROX' carries the same imprint, breaking international trademark/intellectual property rules, but is thicker, brighter yellow and more rounded than real Actavis/Purepac pills. These are even worse than the medium and low quality US makes so avoid them. Average diagnostics in our University Lab is 1.23mg per '2mg' bar, range 0.7 - 1.42mg. 'U94' original PFIZER/UPJOHN XANAX resulted in almost precisely 2.075mg per tablet, KSALOL 1.15mg per '1mg'.

How can I find a reliable vendor of medicines in the U.S. for mail order? I also need US-only analgesics like the mild opioid Hydrocodone. Preferably pure, as in the former European Antitussive DICODID 10mg, but would consider combinations with acetaminophen/paracetamol with an upper limit of 300mg per pill, 10-15mg HYDROCODONE each. The Zogenix ER capsules of 40 & 50mg would be most useful, were they able to be used as IR MEDS in any way, by dissolving them in tepid water, leaving a solution of desired potency, the point being that in the UK there is nothing available in between dihydrocodeine and morphine in strength - a HUGE 'analgesic gap' as it is called here - which can be tolerated, only combination opioid/SNRIs tapentadol and TRAMADOL which I and thousands of others can not take. Neither can I take SSRIs which make my anxiety, panic, THANATOPHOBIA ten times WORSE, though they do help a proportion of people.

And the strong one, oxymorphone HCl (Opana IR 5/10mg by Endo, imprints E612 (blue 5mg) and E613 (pink 10mg). Mallinckrodt, according to the APA, are the best generic manufacturers in the USA and I have certainly never had a bad pill from their label. The M367 10/325mg HYDROCODONE/APAP is the one which myself and my friends would take before any other; Qualitst V3601 of same strength is also excellent. They should now not exceed 300mg apap per pill by law. VICODIN brand and Watson generics have a terrible name for making pills with potentially fatal amounts of apap in them, up to 750-850mg paracetamol per pill. WHY? The synergistic increase in potency achieved by addition of apap is at the level 60-65mg per 15 or 20mg Hydrocodone bitartrate! Our problem is how to obtain these things here in the UK. Someone please help.

I'm prescribed xanax 2mg and one day my usual pharmacy was closed so I went to Walmart to fill my script of 60 2mg xanax.I got my script (I remember this well bc they were ROUND and said À4 on the back and was a cross like scoring on front) I even googled the imprint but indeed it did say "alprazolam 2mg" so I thought no biggie. I took my dose and trust me I KNOW how I feel when I take my medicine.I normally get relief in about 30-40 mins...a whole hour went by and NOTHING..I could still feel anxiety dancing in my brain.Against instructions I took another tablet...again nothing. I went to bed that night very jittery and didn't sleep a wink. I woke up the next day took one again nothing. I got on internet and found that A WHOLE LOT of people had trouble with Mylan Alprazolam. There were threads, blogs, comments on drug sites, etc. I went back to Walmart and demanded either a different kind, or my prescription back.. they said no of course.. I've been seeing my Dr for a good many years so I brought the bottle (w/5 missing to him) and fortunately he wrote me another script. this time I went to my regular pharmacy and told my pharmacist what happened and he even stated that Mylan benzodiazipines (especially alprazolam) have a TERRIBLE reputation. He filled me with my regular generic (Greenstone) which I think is the best kind available. So just beware of MYLAN A4 GENERIC XANAX!

The only reason you would want bars over mylans is because your reselling and bars is a "brand name". I took a bar two nights ago and a mylan last night and guess what, they are EXACTLY THE SAME.

I live in the usa and i agree we dont have the best meds but our generics only have to be 80 percent of the original prizer 2mg bars. so the weaker bar or 2mg usa xanax you will get in 1.6mg. I tried them all and yes greenstone is the best because they are owned by prizer so there def the best xanax. The green bars by dava are good just very chalky hard guess the fillers best then my second favorite. I hate activis and i had some yellow bars about 2 weeks ago and was mad because there not Purpac anymore there activis but my script i get 60 2mg month and the yellows were surprising pretty good id say as good as the davas def not as good as greenstone but def close to 2mg. in the usa generic have to be at least 80 percent of what the brand name is some are are 80 some 90 and some close to 100 percent. IMO the worst are the sun pharma 11 marked bars and the circle BP made by boca pharmicitals. Qualitest mades xanax 2mg bars as well and imo there not that good same with the mylan xanax. weird cause mylan used to make good xanax but now the benzo from the usa are not good. I wont use the BP circles from boca weakest imo and nor will i use the mylans qualitest or sun pharma. IMO i always try to get the greenstones problem is most pharmacies dont carry them i have to call around and drive half and hour to get them. most give out the GG ones which are ok but imo the only ones ill use are Greenstone Dava and surprisingly activis the yellow bars were good. its weird cause dava 1mg tabs arent chalky and dissolve very quick its just the filler but there def good.

My favorites are being from serbia originally i like the ksalol xanax imo better then the prizer xanax. there small come in 1mg blue circles no imprint but they def id say 1.25 mg i rather have 2 of them then a U94 prizer bar or the xanax prizer bars from the usa. Gador Alprax from argentina makes the strongest 2mg bars i ever had and they have another compnay called denver there green oval shaped pill 2mg and there very good too. I had prizer and compared them and IMO ksalol and gador are the best then prizer and denver i think the gadors like the ksalol and over 100 percent. there bars if you never had them are better then any prizer same with icn galenika who makes the ksalol xanax they also make 2mg clonazepam which are stonger then the roche ones. i used to be able to get midazapam aka versed 15mg pills called Flormidal from galenika and wow way better then roche so how is this possible. in the UK being there you guys can only get .5mg xanax from you doctors and there so many fake GG and R yellow bars being pressed and made so you may have gotten something else. But im sure you didnt if you know someone in the states. But to say all USA 2mg xanax but greenstone are only 1.25 mg is complete bs. the weaker 2mg xanax your gonna get is 1.6 mg its just different fillers why some pills are softer then others but i can always taste the bitter xanax when i put them under my tongue. You want crappy xanax try india xanax there tranax trikas alplax etc are way weaker.

Then you can try the ksalol and the prizer and see what i mean. Ive tried so many different kinds of xanax i will say prizer is top 3 but def not the best. Id say ksalol gadors from argentina and even the denvers from argentina are as goood. IMO its ksalol aka Galenika then gadors then 3rd is Prizers and denver but stay away from then tranquinal from bogo they are poor quality. I visit serbia to see family every couple years so i love seeing my cousin cause i can get ksalol for dirt cheap 100 for about 20 euros. just wanted to help you if your looking for the best and trust me usa med vary yes but none are as poor as you save and the sandoz GG bars arent bad but again i stick to greenstone if i can find them then dava and activis imo them are the 3 best in the usa. I used to go to cvs then they switched to dava now activis i was mad at first but was surprised they were good qualtiy. take care didnt mean to be rude but greenstones are the hardest to find and i think its cause there prolly the most expensive so alot of top chains switched. i would never go to walmart target of kmart and get a script cause i found out they always have the cheapest worst xanax. There about 6 or so pharmcital company that make them in the usa so if your try the green bars from dava yellows from activis or greenstones the best but hardest to find you will be happy. and im sure any usa 2mg bar is better then any 3 .5 UK xanax i had auden mckenzie klonipin from the uk and they sucked compared to teva generic

Answer to RYAN,

In general EU benzodiazepines are far better than USA made ones. We have established (a) that Mylan are garbage and (b) that brand name Xanax and Greenstone are to all intents identical and the only ones from that country worth touching. Auden McKenzie is now the only clonazepam stocked at any of the pharmacies round here as Roche have inexplicably withdrawn the superb RIVOTRIL (branded 'Klonopin' in the USA but RIVOTRIL in every other country in the world - weirdo or what?) so I must now take Roche or the licensed Galenika or Abbott RIVOTRIL from IOPs. The problem with the AMcK is that the binders they use inhibit bioavailability. In the EU - take note Verwon, you seem to think US meds are superior - generics MUST by law contain precisely the same amount of API as the proprietary brands. So any problem is never due to lack of ingredient but of a bioavailability problem. By the way Auden's dexamfetamine sulphate are identical to the withdrawn Dexedrine brand and they have no such problem, it seems to be confined to clonazepam. Teva UK do not make clonazepam in either strength; they do in some other EU countries, eg Belgium. Mylan's ex-Merck Generics are their only meds apart from reservoir fentanyl patches that I class as acceptable. They would never get away with marketing their US products in Europe as they contain less active ingredient than the patented proprietary brands. The only legal way of obtaining Xanax of over 0.5mg in the UK is to order through an EU prescription which I often do, from Romania, cheapest country in the EU for most such meds (I mean branded patented proprietary brands). Belgium is also cheap as is Hungary. Quality is guaranteed because they abide by EU law, and it is shocking that any shortfall in active ingredient is permitted in the USA. You may safely disregard all of Verwon's misguided and inaccurate 'patriotic' insistence that only US-made meds are properly dosed and quality controlled as patently that is untrue. The industry there regulates ITSELF which is also a recipe for poor quality and price fixing. No wonder the vast majority of American patients have to make do with second rate medications, especially as different pharmacies do not seem to be permitted to order specific makes as any pharmacy anywhere else can. I hear that CVS dispense only the poorest and cheapest of all. Disgrace. But the original question has been answered so many times I think this thread has perhaps run its course and is now developing into a debate about the shortcomings of the U.S. SYSTEM of distribution and manufacturing standards more than anything else. Time?
