The same medication, different manufacturer, you're right. However, generics are buffered and blended with different chemicals, like Calcium Carbonate, magnesium, yellow and red dyes, etc. So, if you have any trouble with it, it's not the drug, it's the things they add to it.

I would call them up monday if you can wait that long so you can be sure they gave you the right pill. It's a pain when you keep changing brands especially when you have more than one med. But you need to be sure that you were dispensed the right pills

I switch all the time. It is just the manufacturer. You will feel nothing different.
