the qualitest alprazolam are highly ineffective and cause nausea/vomiting, heart burn, severe migrains and swelling and/or bleeding in the throat and stomach which can be seen in the stool. my pharmacy changed to qualitest and i also recieved there oxycodone 30mg tablets. both have a deep blue color and have the same side effects. it maybe the dye or another inactive filler but what ever it is has caused me and about 7 other people i know prescibed the same things these symptoms. i sugget if you recieve this brand to request a different one or switch pharmacys. to top it all off they do not seem to have the same amount of active ingredient in them as ANY of the other brands i have taken> instead of treating my pain and anxiety i got sleepy and more irritable and no other brand does that to me or the others i have talked to that say the same. so in all i think this brand should be taken off the market because i havent spoke to anyone that is satisfied with their results, especially getting ill and some other serious side effects from these meds. stay away from this brand.

Qualitest Clonazepan is awful. They must have the 20% difference in the reactive ingredient because it does not work as the other did. I use the VA. This is dangerous

I prefer Sandoz over Qualitest for my Spironolactone. Qualitest I have to take double the dose to get the same effect as Sandoz, which doesn't work when the pharmacy switches and there's a 3-6 month wait to get into my specialist to get them to change my prescription amount back to a higher dose. A talked to my pharmacy several months ago last time a switch happened and it sounds like I can request a special manufacturer just for me and they'll put my name on it :)

The FDA does allow differences between generic medications and the name brands, in the active ingredient, by up to plus or minus 20%, this is considered an acceptable therapeutic window.

Problems, however, can sometimes arise, when you switch from one generic to another, because they are not required to measure against each other, thus you may end up taking one that has more or less of the active ingredient than the one you were taking previously.

For many people, this does not cause any problems, but some people are sensitive to any fluctuation in medications and can experience problems.

If you want to file a complaint about the product from this manufacturer, you can do so by contacting the FDA at 800-332-1088.

Are there any other questions or comments?
