Brief Answer:
Please upload the photo of the tablet

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome again and thanks for your query.
Your urine test will show up the Benzodiazepine which is the constituent of Xanax. Since you have a prescription, it is not an illegal or recreational use and they should not hold it up against you.
Please upload the picture of the tablet you are taking just to make sure that the pharmacist gave you the right medicine.
Best wishes,

Brief Answer:
The urine test will not differentiate between the two brands

Detailed Answer:
The tablet you have uploaded with GG249 contains 2 mg of Alprazolam, the same as Xanax 2.
Don't worry the urine test will not reveal which type of Alprazolam you took but that you took the medicine. As you have the prescription, you are safe and you are not required to reveal which Alprazolam you took .
So relax.
Take care
