2 different brands

Posted , 3 users are following.

I've been to pick my prescription up and my brand is different to my usual one. I'm on 30mg, the 10mg is the brand I usually have, but the 20mg is differen, do you think it will cause any problems taking 2 different brands.

    Typically it's OK, but because some pharmaceuticals use different coating agents etc it can sometimes cause some side effects. I had a really bad tummy when my brand was switched recently (but I do have a sensitive stomach anyway) but it doesn't affect everyone. The fact that you have some of your normal brand may help anyway as your body is used to that one anyway. I guess you just have to try and see if you do react or not. But if you do, it shouldn't be anything to noticeable.
