Why does medication from some International Pharmacies look different from the medication I buy at home? Why do some International medications have a different name?

Any differences you notice between U.S. and International drugs are simply differences in packaging. An International drug may come in a different container than you are used to, or the medication itself may be a different color or shape (a pill instead of a capsule, for example.) These differences are purely superficial – the active ingredient in your medication is the same. Fundamentally, the medication you receive from an International pharmacy is the same as the medication you would normally take. Additionally, a small percentage of brand name medications are marketed in other countries under a different name. As mentioned previously this difference is purely superficial.
