Generic Xanax - Thailand

Sorry, but most foreign meds are very hard to find.  Alprazolam is made all over the world, and a lot of manufacturers don't even bother with imprints.  At least your tabs have markings so maybe someone will read your post and be able to ID the pills.

Can you upload images of the tabs?  And if the pills came in blister packs, pictures of the details written on the foil would be great.  Then we can research further.

Re the one that says '4 mg' - that's probably an extended-release alprazolam.   In the US 3 mg is the maximum dosage for Xanax SR, but I think other countries might have stronger dosages.
