Lately I notice a different pharmaceutical name on my high blood pressure meds after having a reaction to them. I called the Pharmacy who informed me that the previous manufacture was bought out by another, but it was the same pill.I worked in pharmaceutical manufacturing and research for over 20 years. In order to manufacture a generic version of a drug the process must be different from the original manufacture’s process. Therefore I must disagree with the pharmacy I was given a drug that I was not accustom to and the dosage caused a severe reaction that I am still suffering from.
Beware of your meds if you are taking the generic. Ask your doctor before taking a similar medication from a different manufacture.

But it's not a generic version you said the company was "bought out", that means their drug formulas become the property of the new owners so the drug wouldn't change in any way.

They were making their own generic and bought out the competiton.
