Do they still make xanax?

Do pharmacies still sell Xanax (alprazolam) today?

Yes. Xanax (alprazolam) is still manufactured and prescribed in the United States, and it remains available at pharmacies, usually as tablets in multiple strengths.

What if a specific Xanax dose or brand name is hard to find?

Shortages or substitution rules can make it seem like Xanax has disappeared. In many cases, pharmacies may offer alprazolam generics instead of the brand name, depending on availability and your prescription.

If you tell me your country and the dose you’re looking for (for example, 0.25 mg, 1 mg, extended-release), I can help you narrow down what to expect.

Is there a difference between Xanax and “Xanax XR”?

Yes. Xanax is immediate-release, while Xanax XR is extended-release. They are different formulations and typically aren’t interchangeable without a prescriber’s guidance.

How do you check whether Xanax is still produced where you live?

You can check with local pharmacies and ask specifically for:
- Brand Xanax vs. generic alprazolam
- Immediate-release vs. extended-release (XR)
- Whether your pharmacy can special-order if it’s temporarily out of stock
