Dose Number On Pill Means It The Same
UpdatedI've use Gabapentin, 600 mg. And I been on it for years, but different manufacturers are not the same at pharmacies and if I don't get the same medication I would feel funny, or anxiety would occurred if it don't have the same number on it.meaning it could be a off brand.

I'm use to going to CVS for all my meds, now I'm going to a Pharmacy that i feel like its nothing like CVS. I strongly feel they don't know my history of my health. So when it came to reverse my Gabapentin.I became nervous, cause I have to have this Pacific brand, and I seen that it had a different number on it . I don't feel safe.
Hello, Jewel! How are you?
When a medication is available as a generic, such as this one, it is usually manufactured by several different companies. This is done to help bring generics to market faster in an attempt to create market competition to keep prices lower, as explained by the FDA.
So, it is normal for a pharmacy to switch, sometimes, depending on which manufacturer was offering the cheapest price, at the time they needed to restock their supply. Thus, there is no way to be sure that CVS will always provide you with the same one, either.
But, I can assure you that they all have to meet the same safety and efficacy guidelines that have been set forth by the FDA. While there can be slight fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient, all pharmacies must only provide FDA approved medications.
What are the markings on the pills in question?
