Why does some medication look different or have different names than the ones purchased from my local pharmacy?
– Firstly, if you are used to Brand Name pills and you have ordered a Generic from us, the pills we send you WILL LOOK DIFFERENT. Generics do not look the same as the Brand Name products, even though they have the SAME ACTIVE INGREDIENT and work in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. A manufacturer may change the appearance of a Brand Name pill. For example, Celexa 20MG is a peach colored pill in the US , yet the Canadian pill is white and a little bit smaller than the US pill. Both pills are Celexa 20MG, both have the SAME ACTIVE INGREDIENT, and both are made by the SAME COMPANY. But, for whatever reason, the manufacturer decided to make the Canadian pill a different color. Lastly, when comparing 2 different Generics, they WILL LOOK DIFFERENT if they are made by 2 different companies. It is also common for a drug manufacturer to market medication under different names in different countries. (For example Prilosec (U.S.) and Losec ( Canada ), or Augmentin ( U.S. ) and Clavulin ( Canada ).
