368 pills

Thanks for the response. Can there be any difference in generics between manufacturers as to strength and quality. I remember now why I stopped these pills and went back to the generic with the imprint "M over 100".

When I take the latter, no problems, when I took the "368" they didn't seem to work as well- all factors the same. Possible? I get my pills through mail-in Blue Cross .

Thanks

different manufacturers and potency

I have always been told  generic versus name brand pharma's have no difference. But there is a  reason their cheaper and I found personally  generic are not reliable. As far as manufacturers, the more prominent the better. But I became friends with a pharmacist that did tell me generics are generally weaker and inconsistent. And the M was possibly Merck which is good.

good luck
