Mylan 5040 is a benzo

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 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?

1.Greenstone
2.Sandoz (gg249)
3.DAVA (green bars s 90 3
4.Actavis (yellow ro39)
5.qualitest.

These are the best working ones in that order. Always steer clear of MYLAN. They make good American medication however they do not make ANY BENZO up to par.

"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."

The second part is wrong. Most American pharmacies, including the big chains, will order whatever generic manufacturer you request. Once in awhile they will be unable to obtain that particular manufacturer, in which case they will give you a list of other manufacturers to choose from. Or just call around until you find a pharmacy that has, or can order, the manufacturer you want.

The problem comes with the insurance companies that require that you use mail order to receive a 90-day supply (not all do so, bu many do). They won't even tell you what manufacturer they are going to send (or will give you incorrect information), let alone allow you to order a specific manufacturer. That is why I *always* get my clonazepam at a retail pharmacy, and pay out of pocket if necessary to get a 90-day supply (the stuff is dirt cheap anyway). GOTTA be Teva.

And I agree that Mylan is the absolute worst alprazolam. Never had any other generic that was remotely THAT bad...had to take at least twice as much for the same effect, and even then it didn't feel right. My other Mylan generics have been fine...I wonder why they can't get the benzos right?

Of course with all the mega-mergers taking place in the generics industry these days, some good options are going away, and a drug that has the same manufacturer NAME as before may actually be made differently. An example is the once great Purepac alprazolam. When they were bought be Actavis, and the alprazolam was renamed Actavis, it was still the same great formula. But now Watson bought Actavis (and took on the Actavis name), and the "Actavis" alprazolam is now lousy (though not as bad as Mylan...no other alprazolam could be remotely THAT bad).

Greenstone *should* be good since it is just the original Pfizer Xanax under a different name. And yes, Mylan alprazolam is the worst excuse for a generic substitute of ANY kind that I have ever taken. Weird, because other kinds of Mylan generics have been very effective.

Yep just as strong as the bars and the Mylan A4 last longer. I prefer them to the bars. The Valium I used to get was Mylan and so was the Ativan. Mylan is a great co for making benzodiazepines. The a4s are at the very least the same as the bars.
