Metformin Er 750

Updated

Just got my Metformin ER 750 refilled. The pills look different... could be different manufacturer? One has 93 on one side and 7212 on the other. The other has 143 stamped on one side and nothing I can see on the other side. Help?

Yes, they are both the same medication, a controlled release formulation of Metformin in a 750mg dosage. The one with the 93 is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals and the 143 is manufactured by Sun Pharmaceuticals.

It is common for the pharmacy to switch which generic they supply, depending on which company was offering the cheapest price, when they needed to restock their supply. It's how they keep their prices as low as possible for customers without insurance.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I was prescribed with CLOPIDOGREL -PLAGERINE 75 mg tablets recently. whether this will be prescsribed to only Heart ailment patients or is generally given for lower fat agent in blood. Kindly clarify this point.
Secondly, how long this need to be taken. whether I must take this life-long or can be stopped in middle. please clarify.
