So yesterday went to collect my prescription as always I check that there are no mixed brands.
Fab both packs are north star get home open them up the 25s are accord and the 100s are Teva.
I normally just have Teva.
So off back to the pharmacy to say these are mixed brands but in same packaging.
The very rude lady told me that if I let her speak which I hadn't finished explaining! That north star only make packaging.
So I ask why are the brands mixed she then said we don't pack them they come like that.
Anyway got to go back today for matching brands.
But is what she said about the packaging correct

It's frequently explained on here about how Accord make tablets that are dispensed as Accord brand but are also rebranded for specific pharmacies.
Accord make 50mcg and 100mcg Levo tablets which are dispensed in Accord packaging.
Accord is rebranded as follows
For Boots - Almus 50mcg and 100mcg Levo tablets
For Lloyds Pharmacy - Northstar 50mcg and 100mcg Levo tablets.
BUT Accord don't make a 25mcg tablet so Northstar 25mcg tablets are made by Teva.
I think you may have got mixed up when you say the 25mcg are Accord, they can't be because Accord don't make a 25mcg tablet.
