Mary,
your post is old Sept of 2010, regarding your question of "IFA" tab from Mexico, "alprazolam" is manufactured legally under the "trade names" of Alzam, Farmapram,
Irizz, Neupax, and Tafil. In Mexico it is a Group II control substance. I do not have the answer you are seeking.

However, there is a pharma mfg in Mexico, that is called,
INV Pharna, SA de C.V. Reg #75015, that produces the benzo "Diazepam" commercially known as IFA Fonal Tabetas, of Diazepam, in 2mg, 5mg, and 10mg. Also, IFA Pharma, Reg # 420M2001, SSAII, also used to manufacture, "Farmapram" (alprazolam) in 0.25mg, 0.50mg, and one milligram Tabeletas mfg also known, as,Investigacion Farmaceutica, S.A. de C.V. with plants in Mexico, "Calle 13 Este Num, 5 CIVAC, 62500 Jiutepec,

Maddog,
I have no experience of ordering Group II controlled meds from Mexico, since a one shot deal, in the year, 2008, by the former IOP medicinegallery.com, which was closed down, in a very widely publicized DEA bust, in October of that year. That particular, pharmacy, had been under survelliance, by USA & the Mexican Federal Police, for one year, collecting evidence, a web site, that existed for 7 or 8 years. According to the US government website,dea.gov, subtitled drug diversion, that is where I read about the indictments, covering 1 dozen individuals, many, in the state of Utah, others, in Mexico.
Don't have a clue, if how much was true, how much was propaganda, but, my single order, in the Spring of 2008, arrived, of Roche Valium in sealed Blister Packs, most authentic looking to me, even, with, the outline of a pregnant female on the rear side of the bright aluminum blister pack, & red "X" , back in 2008, with a expiration date of
1 Sept 2012. Figuring in my tolerance issues, which is debatable, I compared, a Mexican 10mg alleged bona fide Roche Valium 10mg, to my Dentist, small script of 5 mg of Roche, "V-cut" Valium "5mg" and the USA version, was, equally as strong, as any of the 10 mg blue solid Valium's I ordered. IMHO, a cut of binders and fillers of at least 50%
the DEA website, yrs ago, stated, MS/GS tests, consistently showed, traces of the core elements, in all of this former IOP's products, but, WAS NOT THE ADVERTISED MG. ONE WAS PAYING FOR. Examples, were from Pfizer Viagra, to Parke Davis Lipitor, (atorvastatin calicum) to multiple benzo's. Thus, nearly all would pass a urine test, with some ingredient, but, many were vastly watered down. I experienced the same thing.
Update, my face to face experience, in the luxury resort of Los Cabos, Mexico, Feb, 2012, all I wll say, is, that,
Pfizer Tafil, Roche Valium, Roche Rivotril, and Sanofi Stillnox, "were available" at a minority of pharmacias, but not sold over the counter, and, the product quality, was, very disappointing, "without a USA + Mexican prescription,
IMHO, counterfeiting, is so rampant in Mexico, it is like the Wild West, in the 1800's in the USA. Example, a strip of 10 Tafil blister pack pills, 1 mg. costs, $4.00 apiece, in US Dollars, if you find a co-operating Pharmacists, "without a script", and, I felt they were so watered down, (i am no chemist) that, I'd be surprised, if they had 20% content, of the active ingredient. In the medicinemexico.com case, the meds were being imported inside the USA, and were always shipped, from the West Coast of the USA to the consumer via the former USA DHL courier, delivered to your door. "Be careful" is my advice. Also, a new law in Mexico, has slowed down the post services, dramatically, and beginning November of 2011, allegedly, all packages, and letters were being inspected, vs. the former 1 in 10.
Finally, there are legit meds, full strength, but one has to jump thru several hoops, plus, more hoops, to re-enter the USA, and to depart Mexico, regarding my 2012 visit to a resort in Southern Baja California.

They are chemically identical. And they aren't for sleeping, they are for anxiety. Get a better doctor or quit trying to pretend your not an abuser.

This data, came from my Psychiatrist office, on "once daily Xanax XR by Pfizer, printed on October 2003, with the insert to the advertisement, printed by Pharmacia and Upjohn Company in January of 2003, Kalamazoo, Michigan. "how supplied" quote..............

0.5mg white pentagonal-shaped tablets debossed with a "X" on one side, and a 0.5 on the other side.

1mg (yellow square-shaped tablets with a "X" on one
side and "1" on the other side.

2mg (blue, round-shaped tablets debossed with an "X"
on one side and "2" on the other side.

3mg. (green, triangular-shaped tablets debossed with
a "X' on one side and a "3" on the other side.

All in bottles of sixty. more quotes "store at 77 degrees, excursions, permitted to 59 degrees to 86 degrees F. The inactive ingredients are lactose, magnesium seerate, colloidal silicon dioxide, and hypomellose.unquote.

Quote "Following the oral administration of Xanax
(immediate release) tablets, alpraxolam is readily absorbed. Peak concentrations in the plasma occur in one to two hours following administration......................
more quotes same paragraph, the mean plasma half life of alprazolam has been found to be about 11.2 hrs,
range 6.3 to 26.9,in healthy adults.
THE MEAN ABSOLUTE HALF LIFE OF ALPRAZOLAM FROM XANAX XR TABLETS IS APPROXIMATELY 90%, AND THE RELATIVE BIOAVAILABILITY COMPARED TO XANAX TABLETS IS 100% unquote (i/r).

Finally, quote, The bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of alprazolam following administration
of XANAR XR Tablets, are similar to that of Xanax Tablets, "with the exception of a slower rate of absorption" The "slower absorbtion rate results in a a relatively constant concentration that is maintained between 5 hours and 11 hours after dosing" (with Xanax XR).

Note: quote "Food has a significant influence on the bioavailability of "Xanax XR Tablets".

This is a synopsis of eight (8 pages) of common adverse events compared to placebo, in 5 charts.

the NDC number for the most talked about size, the
3 mg tablets, is 0009-0068-07, from the January 2003
official product insert

IMHO, this formulation, has been controversial, since its introduction, "the XR version" and again IMHO, the sales volume from yearly statistics, has not come close to the immense popularity, of the mid 1980's release of patented Upjohn original Xanax, and, now, its, generic,
versions.

Acccording to Verispans Vector One National Reports
Xanax XR, was not listed in the top 200 selling "Brand Name RX Drugs" (if it was still under patent in 2008),

Had never layed eyes on the Mylan generic zannies til today, had mostly receieved the nasty tasting quilitest one (the yellow bars) just filled Mylan A4's today and I just took one, about 30 mins ago and I'd say they work pretty well, altho they do seem to be making me a bit more drowsy then the other ones, of course I chewed it first before I swallowed it and im sure it kicked in quicker because of that. I don't take them everyday, in fact I'm only presribed 20 of them every 90 days because I take Buspar daily (for those of u who dont know what that is, it is a non-addictive, non- benzo anti-anxiety) a lot of ppl don't like Buspar but believe me, it works, it just takes about 2-3 wks to get built up in your system. I am only given 2mg zannies for when I get an intense panic attack. I prefer it this way for sure, since I DO NOT want to deal with benzo wd's... I have a friend whos been on five 1mg zannies daily for 8 years (she has a terrible backwoods hick doctor whos been giving them to her since she 16 and now she cannot even live a functional life without them) One time she had her prescription stolen from her purse at a bar and thought she may be able to go without them for a week til she went back to her doctor and she had a like 2 petit and one grand mal within 4-5 days! I have also seen other people get seizures from not having them, so if a doc ever cuts u off for any reason (which any doc with any heart or a brain would not do that cuz they know benzo wd's can kill u), and u have been taking them daily for a while, then seek medical attention cuz u could have a seizure and possible really hurt urself or others around u if ur driving when u seize. Anywho, I think I like the bars a tiny bit better but these mylan a4s are certainly pretty close to bars... theres my shtick! lol Hope it helps some of you..

No hunny your dumb. I've been taking a half of 2Mg white bars for two years because ii have extremely bad anxiety. I went to a different pharmacy and was given these cricle white w/mylan a4 on one side n + on the back. I started with half 2 hours went buy my anxiety started getting worts so I took another half. My anxiety never went away but instead I was feeling weird, & funny. So I,took one of the few I had left and I felt better. So the next day my doctor told me to try a hole one, so I did still nothing. everyone is different as you can see you like n feel the mylan,unlike myself and the other people that's complimented on this website. But fpr you to call someone dumb because their not like you pissed me off cas I know im not l, and I didn't get relief for anxiety plus s***ty feelings behind it.dont take my words as disrespect ok, but u need to pull back a lil.bit bout thinking you know everything.

. As i continue to wean myself from 2MG per day to 1/2 sometimes 1. .with breathing treatments ive been doing fine. ....and quit smoking 6 yrs now with no help.And with the lost of my mother in 2010 u would think i would have such an excuse. I know everyone have different issues but anxiety is more of a reallity than a mentallity just my feelings because u cant wean yourself off of mentallity...impossible...I refuse to let any drug control me. .I control the drug. Along with 2 cervical surgery and no meds. ...God Bless Me! !!! Just funny but sad. . some post sounds like there talking about candy.This is a serious drug not candy. Keep wondering why the size shapes and color suddenly change. The government themselves are weaning u off. ..
