Purple Ifa

Is a purple football shaped tablet with IFA on one side and a thick score line on the other a 1 mg Xanax? Is that the drug manufacturer? Please help, I am only used to seeing alprazolam tablets come in blue or white. ## From what I have seen this pill is supposed to be a 1 mg Alprazolam (the purple/bluish sort of speckled oblong pill with IFA one one side and a score on the other). They are manufactured in Mexico by a company called INVESTIGACION FARMACEUTICA, S.A. DE C.V. and go under the brand name FARMAPRAM. Here is a Spanish Information Page which describes the medication and provides more details about the manufacturer. Hope this helps! ## Based on my research, a purple oval tablet marked IFA is reported to be 1mg Farmapram (Xanax) from Mexico. “Farmapram is a brand of Alpra...

Illegal to have and use in the U.S. ## I guess he was not BS'n me although he did say he got it from the government naval pharmacy? That might be BS if it is illegal in the US.

purple football with an imprint of IFA, is this IFA the manufacturer? is it xanax? thought this was a one 1mg, but normally are blue. ## I believe the purple xanax is the equivalent of about 4 x 2mg of clonazapam.....they r strong....either break them in 2 or take a very strong pill! Addictive?......I used to be addicted to opiates.....these are sooo similar! ## There is a tablet from Mexico that matches this description and is stated to contain 1mg of Alprazolam, which is a generic for Xanax, but I cannot be 100% certain that this information is accurate. The FDA warns that Alprazolam carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, irritability, and headache. Is anyone else familiar with this tablet?

I found this in my son's room and I need to know what it is please. ## Hi Michelle - Is it possible that the marking on the pill is actually "IFA" instead of "IPA"? There seems to be a consensus on this site that a purple tablet with marking "IFA" is Alprazolam from a pharmaceutical company in Mexico. /topics/purple-ifa

I bought 1mg Alprazolam. the pills are oval like and are white. Scored on one side and the otherside has IFA on it. ## I don't know what dosage the white ones are, but I thought that the purple/bluish speckled tablets with IFA on one side (scored on the other) were the 1 mg doses. Were they shipped to you directly from Mexico? ## I bought them in Mexico . . ## Were they supplied to you in a prescription bottle or in the original manufacturer's packaging? Just wondering the name of the manufacturer as well. The markings do indicate the Alprazolam but I've been unable to confirm the dose amount. ## the bottle shows APOTEX and has a GI on it . . ## I was able to confirm Apotex GI is a manufacturer in Mexico, which makes sense. If you see the URL They show a picture of the box,...

A Mexican pharmacy gave me blue oblong pills with IFA on one side and a score mark on the other side to refill my prescription. The guy took them out of a blister pack and put them in my bottle. I don't know how to tell if he gave me the right dose. These are blue, not purple. ## Unfortunately, I am unable to help you with this. IFA Mexico makes many medications and they use the IFA marking on all of them. Is there anyway you could double check with another Mexican pharmacy? The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. ## Today I went back and asked the pharmacist who sold it to me. He said it was 0.5. Thanks for your response.

Just had a friend return from a Mexican cruise and she filled a Xanax prescription for me while traveling. When I went on different cruise, I filled a script for Pfizer purple 1mg tablets. Question is, they told her these were 1mg yet they are white. My experience tells me the whites are 0.25's. They are football shaped, scored on one side and IFA on the other. There is no dosage on the packing. They are marked Farmapram (Alprazolam) on the package. Does anyone know if these are in fact 1mg? Or did she get the wrong medicine? :-( ## More important who sends their friends overseas to smuggle pills for you? What kind of friend are you? I think they are the wrong color and might be dangerous. Throw them out! INV Pharna, SA de C.V. Reg #75015, that produces the benzo "Diazepam" ...
