Is accord the same as activas please I'm on northern star just notice accord on blister. And please tell me it's not teva
Brand name change: Is accord the same as activas... - Thyroid UK
Brand name change
Afraid it is slightly more complicated!
Actavis has re-branded as Accord - but I don't think this is yet shown on Northstar packaging.
Northstar 50 and 100 are Actavis/Accord - BUT Northstar 25 are actually Teva.
It says on the outer card sleeve packaging (as well as the blister as you rightly said) who is the licence holder - "MA holder".
