What is Farmapram alprazolam?
Farmapram alprazolam is the Mexican brand name for the benzodiazepine alprazolam, which is sold under the product name Xanax in the US. As such, Farmapram pills are also called Mexican Xanax or Mexican Xanax bars.
This substance’s main purpose is to treat mental health issues like anxiety and panic disorder. However, the euphoric effects of Xanax have led to the medication being widely misused recreationally.
What is Farmapram (alprazolam) used for?
Alprazolam, the active ingredient in Farmapram, is used to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and some types of depression. It is part of the class of medications called benzodiazepines, which enhances the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA blocks neurotransmissions or brain signals, which in turn produces a calming effect.
Difference between Farmapram ( Mexico) and Xanax ( US)
Both Farmapram and Xanax use an ingredient that is typically used as a treatment for anxiety or panic disorders. However, with different country origins, these brands also differ in terms of manufacturing, which has further implications for their quality, side effects, safety profiles, and risks.
Origin and manufacturing regulation. Xanax is produced by Pfizer and is approved by regulatory bodies in the United States like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), while Farmapram’s pharmaceutical manufacturing is regulated under Mexican health regulatory bodies.
Metabolization rate and effects. Xanax and Farmapram have different inactive ingredients or fillers which result in a different absorption rate. This affects the overall sedative effects you may experience.
Cost and accessibility. Farmapram is typically sold at cheaper prices in Mexico and can be bought without prescription if you purchase up to 50 pills, as opposed to Xanax or alprazolam brands in the US which are heavily regulated by the US FDA. While this makes Mexican Xanax a more cost-effective option, especially for those who need the prescription medicine, this availability may also imply less medical supervision, leading to a higher risk of misuse.The consequences range from dangerous side effects to overdose and dependence.
Counterfeit risks. There is an increased risk of purchasing counterfeit alprazolam when buying from street dealers or pharmacies outside of the US. In one instance, the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) found that fake prescription pills trafficked into the country, including Xanax from Mexico, were laced with fatal doses of Fentanyl.
Is Mexican Xanax legal in the US?
It is legal to have up to 50 doses of Mexican Xanax bars in the US without a prescription from a medical US doctor. However, you might need to present a prescription from a Mexican physician.
That said, people can legally bring FDA-approved controlled substances in the United States from other countries for personal use. Although the rule of thumb is you can have enough pills for up to 90 days,[5] the FDA does not specifically outline how many Xanax pills you can legally possess without a prescription.
How much does Farmapram cost on the street?
The street price of counterfeit alprazolam or Farmapram varies from $3 for 0.25 mg to $5 for a 2 mg Farma pressed tablet. A typical 30-bar street pharmapram may cost $25 per pot. In contrast, Xanax costs around $5 for a 0.25 mg to $16 for 2 mg.
Remember that fake Mexican Xanax may have significant health risks. For example, tablets of Farmapram 2mg and below sold in questionable online pharmacies are likely combined with fentanyl, which increases the risk of overdose.
