Just checking as I’ve mostly taken Accord Levo, now I’ve upped to 100mcg I’ve been given Activas, I’m sure I’ve had this before am I correct in thinking they are much the same?

Thanks

Actavis made 50's and 100's . Then the company changed name or was taken over , not sure which , and started calling them Accord. They are supposed to be exactly the same constituents , some people have noticed no difference , but there have been a handful of reports on here from people who say they have noticed a difference. ie. They were OK on Actavis, and not OK on Accord.

There won't be many 'Actavis' boxes left in the stores now. So you must have been given some of the last stores of them.

P.s

If you get 'Northstar' boxes then the 50's and 100's inside are also the same tablets made by Accord. (but not the 25's , they are made by TEVA, just to keep everyone on their toes !)
