Why do the pills I received look different than the pills I get from my neighbourhood pharmacy?
If you are used to buying the brand name pills and have ordered the generic equivalent from us, the pills that we have sent you will look different, however, they will have the exact same chemical composition. Generics do not look the same as their brand name counterparts due to patent laws restricting generic manufacturers to produce a pill that “looks” exactly like the brand name drug. However, the generic drug will ALWAYS be chemically equivalent to its brand name counterpart. Additionally, some brand name pills will look differently in different countries. EG. Celexa 20MG pill is peach colored in the USA, however the international pill is white and slightly smaller than the US pill. However, both pills are manufactured by the SAME multinational pharmaceutical company.
