Farmapram: “Real” vs “Cartel”

This comparison highlights the observed differences between Farmapram obtained from an established Farmacia in Mexico and Farmapram purchased from a business that markets and promotes what is referred to as “Cartel” Farmapram. Reference: • “Real” Farmapram: Shown on the right • “Cartel” Farmapram: Shown on the left

  1. Differences in Bottle, Label, Box, and Paperwork • On the “Cartel” packaging, the wording “Alprazolam 2.0 mg Frasco con” appears in bold lettering. • The LOTE# and CAD information on the “Cartel” packaging is also presented differently and appears in bold. • The “Real” bottle is a darker brown color. • The design/marking on the bottom of the “Real” bottle is more pronounced than on the “Cartel” bottle. • The “Real” Farmapram box contains LOTE# and CAD information that exactly matches the corresponding information on the bottle/jar. • The “Cartel” packaging does not have corresponding LOTE# and CAD information on the box. • The “Real” box features holographic elements and stamped/embossed indentations. • The “Cartel” box does not have these holographic elements or stamped/embossed indentations.

  2. Differences between the pills: • Visually identical in appearance… • Same tablet press/design • Same color • Same shine • Same score

Observed Alprazolam Content: • The “Real” tablets contain (APPROXIMATELY) 2 mg of alprazolam per pill, based on the observed testing/assessment. • The “Cartel” bars vary considerably in their observed alprazolam content, ranging from approximately 0.8 mg to 2.5 mg per tablet. • This means the “Cartel” bars can vary substantially in potency from one tablet to another despite appearing visually identical…thus giving “Real” Farmaprams a bad rep due to under dosed pills imo.

Dissolution: • The “Real” bars dissolve relatively easily in the mouth. • The “Cartel” bars are noticeably more solid and take longer to dissolve.

Taste and Filler • Both have a somewhat similar overall taste. • The “Real” bars have less of a noticeable filler taste, with a combination of the characteristic sweet and bitter taste associated with alprazolam. • The taste of the “Real” bars is consistent from pill to pill. • The “Cartel” bars vary more noticeably in taste, which corresponds with the observed differences in the amount of filler and alprazolam present from pill to pill. • In other words, some “Cartel” tablets have a stronger alprazolam taste, while others have more noticeable filler depending on the individual pills composition.
