My pharmacist always tells me when he gives me a medication by a different vendor so that I won't be worried and he also puts a sticker on the bottle stating it looks different but it's the same medication.

Those are just abbreviations for the names of the manufacturers of those particular tablets.

For example, the ZYD stands for Zydus Pharmaceuticals.
