Has any one ever had this kind of a problem from this medication ? ## I have only been on this Med for about 2 months. I have kidney problems from the chemotheropy 4 years ago.

Round tan pill with the initials RDY on one side and 200 on the other side. What is it? ## I received pills matching this description with a prescription for Simvastatin (40 mg tablets). The RDY identifies the pills as product of Dr. Reddy Laboratories, but I can't find confirmation that they are what they are supposed to be. ## Sorry, I cannot find any listing for this. There are only a few of their pills that are approved for us in the US, if you obtained this via mail order from another country or something, I am afraid we cannot confirm what it is. ## I received the same pill for a prescription of Simvastatin 40 mg or Zocor from a reputable pharmacy in Illinois. ## Apparently this is a very new generic version, it isn't in any of the professionals databases that I use, or th...

identify generic tablet that is round light salmon color with RX 791 stamped on one side ## Sorry, could you please double check the imprint? None of the databases list a pill with RX and the number 791, it could be a foreign drug or something over the counter. ## Supposed to be Simvastatin ## I have received the same thing. Supposed to be Simvastatin. Got it from military post pharmacy. ## I have checked with the pharmacy I received the RX 791 pills from and they told me that they are Simvastatin. ## That also explains why I couldn't find them in the databases, sometimes the military has medications that are exclusively available to them and not out on the general market yet, such as generics before the proprietary patent is expired and etc.
