Mylan A3 Pill - Alprazolam (generic Xanax)

Mylan Pharmaceuticals manufactures a range of Alprazolam (generic Xanax) pills. All of them can be identified by the letter "A" debossed on one of the sides. The "A" letter is found alone on the least strength of Mylan's Alprazolam (0.25mg pill), while on the pills of greater strength "A" is combined with a number (1, 3 or 4). The pill indexed with "Mylan A3" is 0.5mg Alprazolam. It is, perhaps, the most popular one in the line. The shape of the pill is round, the color can be described as peach. Mylan A3 is an immediate release formulation which is distinguished from extended release versions. In addition to "A", the latter have a letter "M" on the other side (the numbers are different, too).

Mylan A Pill - Alprazolam (Xanax) 0.25mg

The pill indexed Mylan A is the smallest dosage of alprazolam (generic for Xanax) manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals. It contains only 0.25 mg of alprazolam. In fact, it is only one half of the usually taken 0.5 mg. But even this little pill is scored on the reverse to help the patient break it into two equal parts of about 0.125 mg in strenth. What does it mean? It just has to remind us one more time that Xanax is a drug with a high potential for abuse, and the chance of withdrawal symptoms is higher if the drug is taken in higher dosages.

Mylan's Alprazolam (Mylan A Pills)

We have data on four different alprazolam pills manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals. All of them are indexed with "A" and three of them have a number: A1, A3, and A4. Surprisingly, the strengths of the pills don't change from less to larger in correspondence with the numbers:

Mylan A is alprazolam 0.25 mg,
Mylan A1 is alprazolam 1 mg,
Mylan A3 is alprazolam 0.5 mg,
Mylan A4 is alprazolam 2 mg.

As for description, A, A1 and A4 pills are white, and A3 pill is peach-colored. All of the pills are scored on the reverse side, with A4 pill having two criss-crossed scores (to be divided into four parts about 0.5 mg of alprazolam each).
