Does Metformin From Different Manufacturers Have The Same Efficacy?

Updated

When I get my Metformin script filled in CVS in NY it's a different pill than when I get it filled in Florida CVS. Both are apparently Metformin but since they are from different manufacturers is the efficacy the same?

Hello, Lolalulu! How are you?

Yes, any prescription medication that's available from your pharmacy in the U.S. has had to pass the same strict quality and efficacy standards, it applies uniformly to all generic manufactures.

Is there anything else I can help with?
