I Think I Got The Wrong Drug

I've been taking mirtazapine for years and it's always worked for me. The last time I got it refilled I got a different looking pill, and I don't think it's working. This one is a white capsule-shaped pill with the letter A on one side and the number 10 on the other. The label says Aurolife is the manufacturer.

The pills I used to get were round white pills. Could I have gotten the wrong pill? Is it possible that this manufacturer's version just doesn't work for me?

A tablet with that description and marking does contain 45mgs of Mitrazapine.

However, there can be some differences in generic medications. The FDA does allow them to differ from the name brand by as much as plus or minus 20% of the active ingredient.

SInce they measure only against the name brand, this means that there can be fluctuations from one generic to the other, as well.

This is considered an acceptable therapeutic window. For some people, it does not make any difference, but for those who are sensitive to a medication, it can mean they are getting too much or too little of the active ingredient.

You can try asking the pharmacy to order the prior one in for you or phone around to other pharmacies to see who carries it.
