pink-shoes 0 Posted November 29, 2008 Hi.. so i have been taking spiro since august and the pills were made by the lab Actavis. A week and a half ago, i go to pick up my pills and while they are spironolactone, they are different - larger with different writing, and made by the lab Qualitest. And these past couple days i have been breaking out more than usual... Has this happened to anyone else? Could the switch be a reason for my breakout? or is it all in my head lol?

Wynne 129 Posted November 29, 2008 It could be a reason; each manufacturer uses different 'filler' ingredients. Sometimes the bioavailability of the actual med itself is different between generics. Sometimes not a great deal, but enough to make a difference. You should get used to the new medication. You can always request that you receive the same generic, if your pharmacy is able to accommodate your request. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
