Has Anyone Heard of ONAX?
Avasmommy posted a question on March 28, 2011, asking if anyone had heard of ONAX. She explained that she was prescribed Xanax but often ran out early because her aunt was also prescribed the same dose. Her aunt recently gave her a few pills that looked like regular Xanax bars but had ONAX printed on them with a 2 on the other side. Avasmommy looked up ONAX and found out that they are made by Ocean Pharmaceuticals in Pakistan. She asked if anyone knew about these pills and if they were safe to take.

Conclusion
Based on the responses to Avasmommy’s question, ONAX pills are a mixed bag.
