What's the difference between the two??

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.

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.

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,

In the USA, the FDA regulates the "bioequivalence" of a generic drug against the original formula, once the patent runs out, historically, about 17 years since its introduction, but there are some exceptions, a pharma firm can sell the license earlier, or, have the FDA, in rare cases, extend the patent, from 6 months, (as Sanofi did with Ambien in 2006/2007) as Roche did with their Valium, released in 1963, expired in 1980, but Roche got a extention on the USA patent, until 1983, when, Valium went generic.
Also, the bioequivalence, must equal 80% of the original pill, such as, the Mylan alprazolam, must equal 80% of the original Upjohn Xanax, with a standard deviation, of up to 120% of the original formula, on some medications, in the USA. Thus a generic may vary from 80 to 120% against, the original. "The catch is this.......the FDA does not regulate the "bioavailability"
of how your body breaks down the drug, once it enters your system, thus, this is where the "binders and fillers" come into significant play, with a number of psychotropic drugs. Examples: the "bioavailability" differs substantially, with the hypnotic, zolpidem tartrate, the brand name for "Ambien" and "Stillnox,
originally patented by Searle Pharmaceuticals in 1993,
later bought out or merged with the French congomerate pharmaceutical firm Sanofi. Also, the binders and fillers used by huge firms, like, Sanofi, are of often of much more superior quality, than the "mad rush by the competition of much smaller generic manufacturers, as in the "Ambien case" there were 16 competitors, that were once struggling for their share of the No 1 selling hypnotic, in the USA, and the complaints on the internet were rampant, with that hypnotic, and still exist, due to the cheap fillers used by some firms, causing a uneven, absorbtion rate, or once could say a "uneven release rate" of the actiive ingredient, Why is this? the price difference can be remarkable, and cheap fillers, allow a pharma mfg, to wholesale the pill in question, a lot cheaper, with substandard fillers and binders. Example: Brand Ambien AWP (Average Wholesale Price in 1995 was $153.14 for 100 ten mg tabs, plus, the normal, traditional mark-up of 20% on top of that. By 2010, 3 yrs after this product became generic in the USA, Sanofi, charged almost $6.00 per pill, due to many price increases "before the patent expired" (gouging) and after the patent expired, (gouging) due to patient complaints, of poor quality with the many competitors.
Source: REDBOOK 2009, "Pharmacys Fundamental Reference" 113th yr of publication.
In the case of the top selling benzo in the USA, "Xanax", Upjohn's patent expired years ago, and, Pfizer is the parent company, one of the largest, if not the largest pharma firm in the modern world. Twelve competitors, made legally alprazolam, in 2009, in the USA, with 17 different Orange Book FDA therapeutic rating equivalence codes. (with generic alprazolam total number of prescriptions fillled in the calender year 2008 at 43,585,790 "making it in the top ten selling generic drugs in the USA in that year, vs approximately, only one million prescriptions for brand name "Xanax" by Pfizer/Upjohn. The popular 2 mg Xanax "Bars" sold wholesale to USA pharmacies in 2009 for a bottle of one hundred rectangular breakaway bars @$392.20 with a Deep Discounted rate, of $$326.83 if the pharmacy, like a large chain, purchased a large quantity, or contracted to buy a large quantity over a specified time, "plus the 20% markup" a consumer, could be paying, without insurance, a cash price of as much as $3.92 per 2 milligram Xanax brand elongated tablet each, vs. $1.96 Average Wholesale Price, for either a Greenstone, or a Sandoz two mg. bar. The cheapest Alprazolam in 2009 (to the USA pharmacies, were, the UDL brand, but not in the 2 mg bar, but the 1 mg. tab, @ $110.07 AWP + the 20% historical markup, with, Dava Pharma @ $196.45 for 100 two mg bars AWP, and, Actavis, @ $196.45 for 100 two mg bars.
In 2009 Actavis, Greenstone, and Sandoz also offered USA pharmacies a tad lower discount if they ordered bottles of 1,000 tabs at a time, of the 2 mg "famous bars"..again, in individual 1,000 count larger bottles.
IMHO, the best alprazolam, to compare, equally in the superior quality of Upjohn (now Pfizer) Xanax, are the
Gador Pharmaceutical 2 mg bars, sold in 3 countries in South America, called "Alplax", with Gador hdqtrs in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The quality absolutely stellar!
but very rare, these days in the here and now outside of Argentina, or Paraguay, etc.

cannot find mylan alprozalam locally. Can the Dr. get a 3 month supply directly from the company? 0.25 mg. It is a small round white pill with Alprozolam and an A on the front of the pill. I hope you can help with this since this is the only brand that can be taken when needed. Thank you.

BTW, quit snorting your benzos. None of them are water soluble in pill form, so they don't pass through your mucus membrane like coke or heroin does, so it doesn't go straight to your brain. It just drips down your throat and takes longer to get absorbed into your small intestine where all BZ meds get absorbed. (You have twice as many GABA receptors in your small intestine than in your brain). Fastest, (safest) way to get them working quicker is on an empty stomach and disolved under your tongue, (like Suboxone). Or chew them. Yes, Xanax taste like crap, but that's a small price to pay for a faster onset. The only water soluble ones are the liquid versions, made for I.V.ing, that are kept in hospital E.R's, nursing homes, etc. to get agitated patients calm a.s.a.p. Whoever thinks they work better by snorting are living in "placebo-land". Anyone ever read the results from a med study? Some get the real drug and others get a sugar pill, yet some of the ppl on the placebo still get some relief from whatever the real drug is suppose to be helping with even though it's fake. The brain is a powerful thing.

Xanax are tranquilizers. Of course they will knock you out to help you sleep. My mother takes 1mg and is out like a light for hours. I also take 6mg's/day for panic attacks and GAD. Mylan alprazolam sucks! The FDA does indeed allow a % difference in the amount of the active ingredient (alprazolam), and of course even Xanax can differ, (potency-wise), from batch to batch. Mylan meds in general aren't bad, but just read of how many ppl complain of the Mylan version of Xanax compared to other generics. It's just about universal. Why do you think I'm on this type of website? My brands were changed from Greenstone to Mylan and the results are lousy. And while I was under the same assumption that all generics worked the same, the just don't when it comes to benzos. Maybe other meds too, I'm just not on any.
