Same drug, different brand?
Friday night we knew there was an ice storm pending so we did what everyone else does, we went shopping.
Mainly to get the staples (like coffee!). I also realized I only had enough of my Metformin to last me till Sunday morning. Oops. Luckily the store we were at had a pharmacy that was still open and I happened to have the prescription in my purse. The pills they gave me were different, as in, different shape, different numbers on the pills, etc. I asked the pharmacist about that, and she explained that different places might use different brands.
Well, I feel like I’m having to adjust to the medication all over again. Nausea, etc. I wonder if that’s normal? The dosage is the same…so you’d think they’d be the same thing? Maybe it’s all in my head… or maybe I’m coming down with sometime. ? …
