Pharmacy using a different Manufacturer without my knowledge.

My prescriptions always come in a box and a blister pack, both of which have the manufacturer’s name clearly printed, so I am confused by your question. But if you have any doubts why don’t you ask the pharmacy?

It would be unethical and probably illegal to pass off one product for another.

Good luck with the AV trial. They don’t work for everyone, and they are not an instant magic bullet. If your current ones haven’t helped in months then a change of manufacturer might help according to those “inmates” that appear to be more brand sensitive.

 

I'm not sure about the that, but you should ask the pharmacists what's up.

Will your doctor consider scripting the name brand? If not, perhaps try Famvir.

 

AEC - the pill bottle should always reference the manufacturer for what is inside, always. In addition to the color, there are different numbers/markers on the pills that you can look up online to confirm that you have received the proper med.

Glad that you were able to return the one they gave you!

 

Yay!

 

I had an issue with this once where they gave me a generic but it was marked name brand.. I had concerns as well till the pharmacists explained the generic was made by the same company but just had a different marking
