Walgreens gave me the c/L made by TEVO first and my new prescription I just picked up is from the manufacturer AUROBINDO. Have you had any difference in its effect between manufacturers?

There are lots a variation between suppliers. I hate it when I get pills that look completely different. I get confused easily. I don’t need any help.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member inactive ingredients!! Such an important comment. Yes inactive ingredients can be different with each manufacturer and make a big difference. I have MCAS-mast cell activation syndrome and take medicine for that and I react to inactive ingredients frequently in meds. Important comment. Thank you

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member I know what you mean! I totally agree. I also agree that the pharmacy who fills your prescription should be required to tell you if they change the medicine’s mfg and get your approval first. If you don’t give it they shouldn’t change it, period.

A patient in a support group I attended relayed a story about a terrible reaction she had to medication. She got extremely ill and ended up in the hospital. It turns out she was allergic to the red dye they used.

There should be much higher standards for medication.
