[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2262743, member: 345386"] Millie - Whilst the two tablet names you cite there are in the same class of medications, they aren't necessarily twins. The study in the following link compared the two medications: [URL]https://www.diabetesresearchclinicalpractice.com/article/S0168-8227(18)31942-9/fulltext[/URL] I think an important consideration is though that even where the active ingredient in both formulations are the same, the formulations can be quite different - fillers, stabilisers, coatings and so on. When individuals take a medication long term, sometimes that find it much better to stick to a particular brand. A example of this would be, for me. I take some medication to help out my errant thyroid gland. I do OK on most brands, but when I take TEVA brand, I feel nauseous from waking until I go to sleep, and repeat. I can only conclude that is a filler or whatever. To protect against this cropping up, my GP has a note, which is printed on every repeat I fill that I should not be dispensed wwith TEVA meds. That works for me. Could be worth having a chat with your GP to see if you could try again with the brand you got along find with? [/QUOTE]
