I just got my script filled and they gave me CIPLA light blue pills. I'm used to taking dark blue pills with F-83 on them. Should i be concerned?
I agree with Mike double check with your pharmacist but I did a quick google search http://www.drugs.com/imprints/cipla-153-23845.html not sure if its 500 mg if it is: Valacyclovir hydrochloride Imprint: CIPLA 153 Strength: 500 mg Color: Blue Shape: Capsule-shape Availability: Prescription only

It's 1 GM CIPLA 154. Sorry, i wasn't clear. I'm not asking if it's real. I'm asking if anyone has taken it before. I understand that not all antiviral generics are the same and i don't want to crash and burn because i'm taking a new generic brand that sucks.
ahh ok I understand. The manufacturer is in the USA so it should work okay. I think the ones from India etc are the ones that might cause the issues. Let us know how it goes..fingers crossed
Next time ask for the specific ones that always has been working for you so you won't have nothing to worry about. I'd be concerned as well if they were different , who wants to risk it you know? You could always ask for another script and this time ask for the specific one you've always been getting, pay twice but you'll peace of mind.
I think that if the new ones don't work as well you will know quickly and then you could ask the pharmacist to order in from the other manufacturer you were using. I think alot of people do not have a problem. On any other meds I have never seen a difference in how my body reacts from one generic manufacturer to another. For this one, when filled from Mylan vs Northstar within 48hrs I felt symptoms returning.
