REPORT

I was able to confirm that the light green pill in description marked GG165 on the manufacturer's webpage.

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 have been taking Triamterene/HCTZ 37.5-25MG TAB for a while now [changed from Dyazide]. My previous refill came in as round green tablets with an imprint of "GG 165". Today another refill came in as "Bow-Tie" with an imprint of "SZ -431".

Need to know if they're the same meds...

I noticed the new bow tie/peanut shape when my prescription was all of a sudden $10 cheaper than the last time I picked it up. On the label, it's the same manufacturer, same dosage (exact same label), but instead of small green (with GG 165) it was light green, bow tie shape with SZ431 printed on it. I called the pharmacy and they tried to tell me it was a different MFG, even though I told them it still listed MFG as Sandoz on the label. Pharmacist said it's what they're sent, they don't have control, and maybe the bow tie shape uses a different filler and I'm sensitive to it. All I knew was that I became uncomfortably bloated and my feet were swelling before I realized what was happening. I currently take 1 1/2 of the bow tie shape each day (instead of 1), which is working - until they can tell me the what, where, and why of what is going on.

Re: DH (# 18)

There are different manufacturers, for example - Mylan. You can ask if your pharmacy can order meds from them for you.

I was in the same boat with the "new" Sandoz 37.5/25 pill. I became extremely lethargic and slept the second day I was on the pills...the entire day. Muscle and joint pain and weakness. Bloating in my stomach. Wheezing in my chest after the second pill. I call Sandoz and made them take a report. Totally different make-up with fillers and binders than the original pill. I did see Yellow Dye #10 in the new pill and I have a feeling that's what I'm allergic to. Had another medicine years ago that contained that dye and same problem. I'm SO ANGRY and now am back to being a guinea pig until I find something else that works.
