DAVA ALPRAZOLAM IS AN INEFFECTIVE DRUG. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS TO THE PHARMACIST AND HE COULD NOT EVEN REMEMBER WHO THE MANUFACTURE WAS. HE TOLD ME ,"THE DEA TELLS ME WHAT I CAN ORDER." SO I CHANGED PHARMACIES BUT I AM CONTINUING TO PURSUE THIS WRONG DOING. IT'S UNETHICAL...NOT WHAT LICENCED PHARMACISTS SHOULD BE DOING AT "MISIR" IN NAPLES, FL.

Hello, Brina! How are you? I am sorry about the problem you've experienced.
It isn't the DEA that tells him what he can order, whenever he needs to restock his supply, he gets the medication manufactured by whichever company is offering the cheapest price through the supplier that the store uses.
The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.
Under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984 generics are allowed to differ from the name brand, by as much as plus or minus 20% in the amount of the active ingredient. They also do not have to measure against each other, just the name brand, so it is possible that the one from Dava contains less than what you are used to taking.
There's really nothing you can pursue, the FDA considers it an acceptable therapeutic window and it was put in place to help bring generics to market faster, in hopes of creating competition to keep prices down.
Is there anything I can help with?
