Do not take any more and call your Doc!. ASAPWww@Answer-Health@Com
I am allergic to red dye on pills so I can't take any pills or toothpaste or anything( foods or drinks) that have red dye!. You may be allergic to the dye on the pills as well!. When you took the white ones you were fine so it sounds like the dye on the pills!. You may have to get your pills filled at a pharmacy that has the white pills!. That's what I have to do!. Sometimes I need pills filled and my pharmacy only has pink or red one (pink also has red dye) so I call around until I find a pharmacy that has the color of pills I can take!. I don't think they switched your pills, just the color of them!. They can't switch them without the Dr's permission!. Maybe you can take the orange ones back and get what you have left from your prescription from a pharmacy that has the white ones!. Your pharmacist can call around and find the white ones for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes, ask your doctor for a switch!. Sometimes a doctor is able to override the insurance company if the substitute isn't as effective!. Check with both on this!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yeah, you could be allergic to it, do it immediately and stop taking it!. (Or it could just be a side effect, not sure) better not to risk it though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
