I get this particular medicine filled every month and for the past three months straight it has been disintegrating and turning into a fine powder substance and this has been making me run short of this medication every month now. I want you to know that I store it correctly and nobody besides my pharmacy and I have touched them.
Why is my alprazolam 1mg tablets turning into fine powder when I store it correctly?

Hi, Sunangel!
Are you sure that these tablets are made by the same manufacturer as your previous medication?
If you're not sure talk with your pharmacist and explain the problem you're having.
It may be as simple as getting a different product.
Best regards,

Hello
I sometimes "find" one or two hidden away in a drawer or someplace and they are very soft and not at all as hard as the ones still in the bottle. They seem to work like the bottled ones but just very soft.

Plus, they could be soft because they're old. Ask your pharmacist's advice and ask if they are old or fresh in his supply.

Hello,
Xanax should be store at room temperature, so approximately 65-70°F. Also, keep the bottle away from direct sunlight. But in the meantime, can you send the imprint code. So I can make sure it isn’t the disintegrating tablets that you’re taking.
