Question Hello,
I received my refill of alprazolam thru the mail this week and the pills are small round and yellow and supposed to be 2mg. This is not what I normally receive, I normally receive the bar shaped ones in white. Should I worry that they are not correct? There are no markings on the pills except for scoring on one side, which I am also not used to.
Answer I would contact your mailorder pharmacy to have them verify what the tablets that you were prescribe should have looked like. Without any tablet markings I cannot tell you what the tablets are. I would not take any until you contact the mailorder pharmacy for verification.
