Fake Xanax pill

Yes, Pfizer (Pharmacia Upjohn) makes 2 mg Xanax.

Traditionally the 2 mg has always been a rectangular shape:

But changes are possible. So it's possible your Xanax is real and not fake. Only time - and research - will tell. We'll do our best to ID your pill. Thanks for the nice image.

My thoughts are that if it is indeed alprazolam than it is a foreign generic because as Kirby said the US produced xanax almost always follow the rectangular bar design for the 2mg ones except for mylan which is a circle not a football shape. Also as stated above it is tri-segmented not quad-segmented like every other 2mg US produced alprazolam pill. so it is my opinion that it is a foreign generic or a fake. The only foreign 2mg i have seen are the rectangular ones from argentina that say Alp on them which I think go under the trade name alprax.

This is either a fake or has been imported from somewhere overseas (probably asia). Most european and south american pharm companies follow the U.S. pattern of Quad scored *bar* 2mg alprazolam with the exception of the circular design. To my knowledge there are *NO* legitimate tri segmented alprazolam formulations on the market anywhere in the world. Keep in mind it is not that hard (relatively) to make or obtain a pill press and press pills into whatever shape you want (if you are making fake drugs, getting a pill press with whatever you want on it is the easy part).

 This Dava tri-segmented bar may be a legitimate formulation of Alprazolam. I must stress though that only a *BAR* can be properly scored in this fassion. The oval "football" tablets would not be equivalent doses when scored more than once anywhere other than across the symmetrical plane of the tablet, and therefore would not be medically efficient in that each delivered dose would be significantly different from the previous. Uneven dosing due to tablet design is usually either against regulations or law depending on where the medication originates from and is prescribed / dispensed.

Always check with a physician *licensed to practice in your area* who has taken a proper H&P (history and physical) before taking any medication. My license, as well any physician or pharmacist, is limited to the state and country where I practice and does not extend further.
