Alprazolam 2.5 mg tablet total weight or excipients?

Alprazolam “2.5 mg tablets” (and the total weight of the tablet or its specific excipients) depends on the brand/manufacturer and the exact product—because different manufacturers use different tablet strengths, fillers, binders, dyes, and coatings.

What I can tell you generally

• Alprazolam is the active drug (here, 2.5 mg per tablet, if that’s the product strength).
• The rest of the tablet weight (i.e., the “total tablet weight”) is made up of excipients (inactive ingredients), such as:
  • fillers/diluents (e.g., lactose, microcrystalline cellulose)
  • binders (e.g., PVP/POVIDONE)
  • disintegrants (e.g., croscarmellose sodium, crospovidone)
  • lubricants/glidants (e.g., magnesium stearate)
  • sometimes coatings/dyes (depending on formulation)

To give you the exact total tablet weight and excipients

Please send one of the following:

1. the brand name (or manufacturer), or
2. a photo/text of the label (strength + company), or
3. the NDC number (US) / national drug code, or
4. the country you’re in.

Then I can look up the specific package insert/labeling and tell you:

• the tablet total weight (mg) (if listed), and
• the exact excipients listed for that specific 2.5 mg tablet.

If you tell me the brand or NDC, I’ll respond with the precise ingredients and any listed tablet weight.
