A member asked:
I got one of my medications at a new pharmacy. it says it's the same dose on the bottle but i'm having a lot more side effects. is this possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Depends if you are taking the same brand of medication. Some people experience side effects in differences between brand name and generic medication. Some people experience more side effects because their body changes and they become more susceptible to side effects.
