Is hydrochlorothiazide 25mg / triamterene 37.5mg tabs by Sandoz, greenish blue?
I used to take green rounded tabs triamterene/ hctz 37.5/25 by Sandoz and they worked pretty good. Just recently on the refill they filled it with green peanut shape pills from the same mfr but I noticed that they are not working as good as the other. My BP went up. Also, I was not able to find that kind of shaped pills on drug identifier Any ideas? Thank you.
Mine changed also. Given the recent disclosure that some generics failed to properly dissolve, I'm thinking maybe Sandoz is trying to get ahead of the curve by moving from a capsule to a pill. What a lot of folks don't realize is generics may have the same basic ingredients as the brand name, but the fillers and other non-medical ingredients vary considerably. Sooner or later our insurance companies are going to figure out that they're not saving any money by forcing use of generics which don't do the job or have unintended side effects.
Yes, with marking GG above 165
i went in and almost died due to a previous surgery- it caused me to have a constriction in my colon and caused a rupture. i was just looking at an old prescription an this is what it was. for 5 days- why would my doctor have given me these? weird huh?
According to my pharmacist, the capsules are not currently available. Various generic tablet formulations are being dispensed as an alternative. There should not be any difference in the effectiveness of the medication; however, your pharmacist should have explained this to you and informed you of the change prior to refill. Please discuss with him or her.
I was able to confirm that the light green pill in description marked GG165 on the manufacturer's webpage.

I have generic Maxide 37.5/25 tablets made by Sandoz. They are light green. Markings: GG on top of pill and 165 on bottom of pill. 2 small score lines only near edges. No markings on other side of pill.
My mother has been on Triamterene/HCTZ 37.5/25 capsules for many years. The drug is manufactured by Sandoz. When she refilled the drug this weekend, she received tablets, not the capsules she had been getting. She is 86 years old, and concerned about possible side effects of changing the medication form. Are the capsules still available?
Drug manufacturers can change the color or shape of any pill over a period of time without prior notice, so this is definitely something that you cannot asses unless you have the pill in your possession. Alternatively, if you can provide me the imprints and shape of the pill, I can look it up for you in a drug database and get back to you with any of these details.
