Football Xanax: Green, Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow Xanax

If you're reading this, there's a good chance you've heard of Xanax - a prescription drug often prescribed to treat anxiety disorders. But what you might not know is that there are street names for Xanax used by people who buy, sell and use the drug illegally. One of these street names is football Xanax or Xanax footballs.

But what exactly is a football Xanax? What is the strength of this Xanax pill? Does it come in different colors? How do you know if it's a fake Xanax football?

In this blog post, we will talk about the different types of football Xanax pills. We will also show you the different colors it may come in and how to avoid getting fake alprazolam pills.

What Is a Football Xanax?

Football Xanax is the street name for alprazolam tablets that have an oval biconvex shape. Xanax is the brand name of alprazolam, a benzodiazepine that is used to treat anxiety and panic disorders.

The tablets resemble a football, hence the name. The Xanax pills manufactured by Pfizer with the football shape come in different doses. The football Xanax pills from Pfizer all feature the imprint XANAX with the corresponding dose. The 0.25 mg (white), 0.5mg (orange), and 1 mg (blue) Xanax tablets are all oval and come in varying colors.

Because of the color differences, they are differentiated in the streets as white football Xanax, orange football Xanax, and blue football Xanax. However, because there are now many other pharmaceutical companies that manufacture alprazolam tablets, the imprint and color of the pills may vary from one manufacturer to another. It is important to be aware of this as it can help you identify fake alprazolam pills.

What Is a White Football Xanax?

White football Xanax is the street name of the white or off-white 0.25 mg alprazolam pills. Different pharmaceutical companies manufacture pills with different imprints referred to as white Xanax footballs, including the following:

• XANAX 0.25 (Xanax 0.25 mg) Pfizer U.S. Pharmaceuticals Group
• B704 (Alprazolam 0.25 mg) Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, Inc.
• G 3719 (Alprazolam 0.25 mg) Greenstone Limited
• GG 256 (Alprazolam 0.25 mg) Sandoz Pharmaceuticals Inc.
• A 51 LL (Alprazolam 0.25 MG) ESI Lederle Generics

What Is an Orange Football Xanax? B705 Pill

Orange football Xanax is the slang term for the 0.5 mg alprazolam pills that are orange-colored. These tablets also come with different imprints depending on the manufacturer:

• XANAX 0.5 (Xanax 0.5 mg) Pfizer U.S. Pharmaceuticals Group
• B705 Pill (Alprazolam 0.5 mg) Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, Inc.
• G 3720 (Alprazolam 0.5 mg) Greenstone Limited
• GG 257 (Alprazolam 0.5 mg) Sandoz Pharmaceuticals Inc.

What Is a Blue Xanax Football? B706 Pill

Blue football Xanax is the street term for alprazolam tablets that are blue oval pills and are available in 1 mg strength. These pills also have different imprints depending on the manufacturer:

• XANAX 1.0 (Xanax 1 mg) Pfizer U.S. Pharmaceuticals Group

What Is a Yellow Football Xanax?

Yellow football Xanax is the street name for alprazolam tablets that are yellow in color and are available in 0.5 mg strength. The yellow football alprazolam has a distinct imprint of S 901 (Alprazolam 0.5 mg) from Dava Pharmaceuticals Inc.

While yellow football Xanax is more commonly used to refer to this brand of alprazolam, this slang term is often confused with yellow alprazolam bars. However, these bars are different because they have a strength of 2 mg. Because of the shape, this 2 mg bar is also called yellow school bus Xanax.

What Is a Green Football Xanax?

The green football Xanax is the street name for alprazolam tablets that have a green oval shape and are available in 1 mg strength. The green football pills come with an imprint S 902 (Alprazolam 1 mg) from Dava Pharmaceuticals Inc.

What Is a Purple Football Xanax?

Purple football Xanax is actually similar to the blue football Xanax. The B706 Blue Pill (Alprazolam 1 mg) from Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, Inc. has a darker blue color that can appear purple. This pill can also be commonly referred to as a purple football Xanax, although it is not an authentic purple Xanax pill.

Fake Xanax Footballs - Risks and Dangers

There have been many reports of fake football Xanax, fake Xanax bars, and fake alprazolam pills being sold on the streets. It is important to always exercise caution when buying or taking alprazolam in any form as counterfeit drugs are becoming increasingly common.

For instance, many illicit drug dealers often sell fake yellow football Xanax or fake green football alprazolam to people abusing Xanax. These fake Xanax pills have been found to contain fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that can cause serious side effects. Some even report side effects if taken in higher doses and increase the risk of drug interactions. Side effects can include breathing problems, trouble sleeping, increased anxiety, and more.

It's also important to know that fake alprazolam pills may not have the same effects as real ones. Instead of a calming effect, you might experience more anxiety or other negative reactions. This drug is also highly addictive if you take it for a long time. It can cause withdrawal symptoms after suddenly stopping taking the drug.

How Can You Spot Fake Alprazolam Pills?

For Xanax users, it might be easier to spot fake Xanax pills. However, if you're presented with an alprazolam tablet manufactured by a different pharma company, it might be more difficult to tell the difference between a fake and a real pill. There are some common signs you can look out for  when checking for fake alprazolam pills:

• Excessive powder on the outside of the pill
• Cracks or chips on the surface
• The imprint is not clear or faded
• There are spelling mistakes in the imprint design
• Color inconsistencies - bright colors that don't match
• Packaging that looks cheap or has different logos than usual
• No manufacturer's name or logo on the packaging

If you ever come across a pill that seems suspicious, do not take it. Research the imprint and color to make sure it is a genuine alprazolam tablet before consuming it. Only take Xanax with proper medical advice from a doctor or pharmacist.

When buying Xanax on the streets or online, there is always a risk of getting counterfeit or fake alprazolam. Never take the risk of buying Xanax from unregulated or unverified sources. Always buy your medications from a licensed pharmacy or store. Talk to your doctor or call your doctor for medical advice if you have a doubt about your alprazolam pills.
