Clonazepam 2mg (Foreign) with K in Triangle

Posts: 3
Joined: 2008-03-16

I have a small, white, round pill. On one side it has a triangle with the letter K in the middle of the triangle. The other side is scored in the shape of a t (can be broken into 4 pieces if desired using the score). It is in a foil package with plastic covering each pill (10 pills per sheet of foil). On the foil it has Rebasin and underneath that it says Clonazepam 2mg. Is this truly a Clonazepam 2mg pill or a fake? Came from Honduras I think.

Any information would be helpful. I searched for almost an hour on this website in several areas but did not find what I am describing above.

Thanks for any help/ID given.

Hello and welcome to the

Hello and welcome to the site.

Foreign pills are usually tough to i.d. and ones with vague imprints are even tougher.

I was able to find that Rebasin is in fact a real pharmaceutical company registered in Hondurus - see

this link (it's a large .pdf file)

Unfortunately Rebasin does not have a website (many international pharmaceuticals dont... even here in the states). Since they dont have any site to confirm there is no way that we will no for sure what the pull is without expensive lab testing, however, since the pill is in a blister pack, and is marked as Clonazepam, and it is even imprinted with a letter that makes sense for the medicine Klonopin, i would imagine that it is reasonably safe to assume that the pill is in fact as marked. of course i have no hard facts to back this up, but it is my opinion. Clonazepam is not a difficult medicine to make and produce so i think that it is reasonable to say that it is what it says it is.

wish i could be of more help unfortunatley that is all i have for now.

Shout K for Klonopin...

Thats exactly what i thought. As soon as he described the imprint "K" I would think that it was more than likely, indeed, Klonopin.

I'm not a doctor, but would LOVE to play one on tv....

K

The 'K' is for 'KARNEL' the maufacturer. All their brands, TRAXIL alprazolam, DIAZAM diazepam etc carry the company logo, a 'K' within a triangle.

 They are not made in the USA so the name 'Klonopin' is completely irrelevant. That's the USA name for Roche RIVOTRIL clonazepam, as the rest of the world knows this drug. 'Klonopin' is an oddity of a name confined to the USA.

 I was around pharm boards for several months before I realised that when Americans were talking about 'Klonopin' they were meaning what every other country calls 'Rivotril'.

Clonazepam (Foreign)

Phisher,

Thank you for the information you provided. I appreciate that you took your time and effort to look up the information and give me all the details that you did. I am leaning in the same direction that you are when you say that it is reasonable to say that the pill is Clonazepam 2mg and since you were able to find out that Rebasin is in fact a real pharmaceutical company registered in Hondurus that gives me even more assurance.

Again thanks for your help! Smile

TeamPharmer found this and appears to be the same logo as yours.

It is the same logo as on the pill I wanted ID for (Clonazepam 2mg). So chances are it is Clonazepam.

Also the pill TeamPharmer shows if I am not mistaken is Alprazalam 1 mg that is a light purple color, "football" shape and has the triangle with the K in the middle of the triangle. Correct me if I am wrong on this one. Also, does anyone know how it compares in quality to Alprazalam 1 mg made in the USA?

Thanks Phisher and TeamPharmer.

you are indeed correct. the

you are indeed correct. the pill is exactly as you stated.

as far as the potency is concerned, well, honestly I have no idea since I have never tried any of this company's products. Perhaps some of our international members could give you some insight.

The member that posted this picture stated that these were "extremely high quality".

KarnelTRAXIL 1mg alprazolam

Phisher,

It was indeed I who submitted this photo of the Karnel TRAXIL 1mg alprazolam, and I stand by my assertion that this is an extremely high-quality brand. The REBASIN 2mg clonazepam, on the other hand, would appear to me to be the least of their range. They obviously use different fillers and binders than Roche and Galenika RIVOTRIL, which both have a distinctive 'minty' taste to them; and I am afraid that I found Rebasin to be nothing more than a very average quality medicine. Certainly, if given the choice between the three, I would buy the Rivotril made by ICN Galenika under a Roche Licence. There is one other company allowed by licencing to use the name 'Rivotril', Roche's brand-name for clonazepam, and that is Nicolas Piramal of India, who also have a Roche Licence enabling them to produce diazepam under the name 'VALIUM'. Their Valium is white, with a cross-score on the reverse like Rivotril and Rebasin, and the obverse is imprinted 'VALIUM 10'. They are also of extremely high quality and may be obtained from several Indian pharmacies at varying prices, mostly cheaper than one would pay for the product made by Roche.

Roche licence quite a range of meds, supplying the active ingredient to the licenced company, so the product should be exactly the same quality, strength, etc of the Roche product. Alkaloid, a Macedonijan company based in Skopje, are licenced similarly for bromazepam, but do not use the Roche brand-name, preferring their own name of LEXILIUM, which I find to be the finest example of bromazepam on the market - I would rather buy Lexilium than Roche's LEXOTANIL.

But be assured that the non-licenced Karnel diazepam and alprazolam are indeed superb medications and well worth seeking out. You are correct; they are made in Honduras and come in foil sheets rather than the more usual plastic/aluminium blister packs. Excellent products indeed.

hi does the clonazepam taste like plastic

Hi that Clonazepam is made by karnel labs honduras all there meds seem to give you some kind of effect but i am quite concerned about the quality of all their meds as i have a script for valium and xanax and i have tried both the karnel traxil (alprazolam) and the diazam (diazapam)

both seem to be noticeably different than any thing i have ever got from any online pharmacy or u.s.generics i do not want to give a bad name to the pharmacy so i will not mention there web site or name my wife also suffers from anxiety disorder and she thinks they taste like glue

maybe that is what they bind all the ingredients with remember we are dealing with a third world country please any input will be greatly appreciated best regards, the vez
