Although many individuals refer to Xanax as a brand-name medication, a Xanax generic is available. The generic name is alprazolam, and it can be found at pharmacies across the U.S. As of 2023, alprazolam is the <a href=\"https:\/\/clincalc.com\/DrugStats\/Drugs\/Alprazolam\">37th most prescribed medication<\/a> in the country.

Alprazolam is much more commonly dispensed in pharmacies than brand-name Xanax, and for good reason\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/are-generic-drugs-as-good-as-brand-name-medicines\/\">generic drugs<\/a> such as alprazolam are just as safe and effective as their brand-name counterparts, yet they cost up to 80% less. There is not just one generic version of Xanax, as generics are produced by multiple manufacturers, such as Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Teva, and others.<\/p>\n<p>If your healthcare provider prescribes Xanax, your pharmacist will likely dispense alprazolam, unless you or your healthcare provider specifically request the brand name.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-differences-between-brand-name-and-generic-xanax\">What are the differences between brand-name and generic Xanax?<\/h2>\n<p>New brand-name drugs undergo extensive testing before being approved by the FDA. Generic drug manufacturers are held to the same strict manufacturing standards. Because the brand-name drug has been thoroughly tested, generic manufacturers do not have to perform as many clinical trials. However, they must prove that their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/drugs\/generic-drugs\/generic-drug-facts\">generic formulation<\/a> is just as safe and effective as the brand and has the same effect in the body. Generics may look different from the brand name, but they contain the same active ingredient and work the same way. You\u2019ll find a significant cost difference, as generics can cost up to 80% less than brands.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"appearance\">Appearance<\/h3>\n<p>Different generic manufacturers produce Xanax generics, which may result in slight <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/drugs\/frequently-asked-questions-popular-topics\/generic-drugs-questions-answers\">differences in appearance<\/a>. Despite any differences in the pill appearance, such as different colors or shapes, alprazolam and Xanax work the same way and have the same effect.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"dosage-forms\">Dosage forms<\/h3>\n<p>Regardless of whether you get brand-name or generic Xanax, both are prescribed at the same dosage and frequency. Brand-name and generic Xanax are available in several dosage forms, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Xanax (alprazolam) immediate-release tablet: 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg<\/li>\n<li>Xanax XR (alprazolam) extended-release tablet: 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg, and 3 mg<\/li>\n<li>Alprazolam orally disintegrating tablet: 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg<\/li>\n<li>Alprazolam oral solution: 1 mg per mL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The immediate-release alprazolam tablets are commonly dispensed in pharmacies. A common dosage is 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg by mouth 3 times daily as needed for anxiety. However, dosage and frequency vary from person to person.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"bioequivalence\">Bioequivalence<\/h3>\n<p>Generic and brand-name drugs contain the same active ingredients and have the same FDA-approved uses. Generics offer significant cost savings, and most patients opt for generics and find them just as effective as the brand. After all, the FDA does require the generic to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merckmanuals.com\/home\/drugs\/brand-name-and-generic-drugs\/bioequivalence-and-interchangeability-of-generic-drugs\">bioequivalent<\/a> to the brand. Bioequivalence means that the generic drug results in the same blood concentrations over the same time as the brand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The following table summarizes important information about Xanax and its generic, alprazolam. You can consult your healthcare provider for more information and medical advice about Xanax and generic alprazolam, including information about possible side effects, drug interactions, and other important warnings. It is important to share all of your medical information with your healthcare provider, including any health conditions you have, as well as all the medications you take, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements.

Because of the high risk of withdrawal reactions and adverse effects, alprazolam is not a preferred treatment for PMDD.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"anxiety-in-children-7-years-and-older\">Anxiety in children 7 years and older<\/h3>\n<p>Xanax is FDA-approved for use in adults and is not approved for use in children or adolescents under 18 years old. Thus, prescribing Xanax to someone in this age group would be considered off-label prescribing. In rare cases, some healthcare providers may prescribe Xanax off-label to children 7 years and older for short-term anxiety treatment under close supervision and careful monitoring.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-switch-from-xanax-to-alprazolam\">How to switch from Xanax to alprazolam<\/h2>\n<p>When issuing a prescription for this medication, a healthcare provider will often prescribe \u201cXanax.\u201d State laws allow pharmacists to dispense the generic version of brand-name drugs, even if your prescription is written for the brand-name drug (unless you or your healthcare provider specifically request the brand).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you take brand-name Xanax and want to switch to generic, check with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Because brand-name and generic products contain the same ingredients and dosage, switching to a generic should be a seamless transition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ask your healthcare provider if it is okay for you to switch to generic Xanax. In most cases, the healthcare provider will approve the switch. Keep track of your anxiety or panic attacks, and make note of any side effects when you switch from brand to generic medication. This will help you and your provider understand how well the new medication works and make any necessary adjustments. Always consult your healthcare provider for medical advice if you have any questions or concerns about your medications.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"is-alprazolam-the-same-as-xanax\">Is alprazolam the same as Xanax?<\/h3>\n<p>Alprazolam is the generic version of Xanax, and it works the same way in the body.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"why-is-generic-xanax-cheaper\">Why is generic Xanax cheaper?<\/h3>\n<p>Because there is more competition in the market when generics are introduced, all generic drugs are less expensive than their brand-name counterparts, often saving patients up to 80% or more off the original cost.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"can-i-switch-from-xanax-to-alprazolam\">Can I switch from Xanax to alprazolam?\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Switching from Xanax to alprazolam is generally easy and seamless.
