Medication Question
 

Does anyone take the generic Sinemet made by Actavis? I used to get the Endo brand, which I liked, but my pharmacy/insurance carrier doesn't carry it anymore. I haven't heard good things about Actavis and their formula so I was looking for some feedback. Thanks!

Todd,
I take the generic Sinemet. How would I know if it was made by Actavis?

Underneath where it says "carbidopa/levo there are some small letters..(Go and get your glasses..:D ..)..my old generic Rx says "TEVA USA"

On my regular Sinamet it says.."BMS"=Bristol-Myers Squib

I think..I assume..that TEVA is Actavis..not sure..What I do know however it that TEVA does not work for me at all, and Ive spoken to many other PWP that have had similar experiences

OK, I just checked my carbidopa/levo bottle. It says Teva USA.
It seems to work alright for me. Once again, this just goes to show we are all different.

Teva and Actavis are separate companies as far as I can tell. I make the switch on Tuesday and am a little freaked out but such is life, right? Thanks guys...
