Xanax prescribed and distributed between August 27, 2024 and May 29, 2025 was recalled by the FDA on March 17, 2026, People Magazine reported at 1:04 AM EDT on April 16, 2026 and then National Zero picked up and printed an article at 6:59 AM EDT on the same morning.
If you got those pills that the FDA says “Failed Dissolution Specifications” in your prescription then you shouldn’t take them. Or, far more likely, have taken them since Xanax typically isn’t the kind of drug that sits in people’s medicine cabinets and expires until they throw them out so much as whatever does not get ingested by a patient ends up simply being sold or given to friends without a prescription just so they can get a buzz. Or ground up and put in a Snapple bottle mixed with cheap vodka and Robitussin that an entrepreneurial fellow named “Alien Zack” sells for $50 each.
But you shouldn’t take the pills from that batch if you still have them. They’ve been recalled.
