Hi Ed!
I picked up my repeat presciption today from the pharmacy for Topamax, I asked the doctor if I could change from the sprinkle capsules to tablets as basically their more convenient for me.
Anyway, I thought all Topamax came prepared in small plastic bottles? When I first had 25mg tablets it came in a bottle, and when I had the sprinkle capsules they were in a bottle....Today when I opened up the bag.... its in a box and the tablets are in the usual blister strips you get along with other medications..
But thats not the only weird thing, the actual box, although it says "Topamax"....all the language on the packet is in Spanish!!???....noramally we get our medication boxs written in English I thought. Do they sometimes import medication from abroad like this???....i'm looking at this box as im getting paranoid thinking this stuff is fake!...its called "Topiramato?!"...sounds like a spanish tomato or something lol
Have you ever come across this before?
Lastly, I thought because of having had Topamax packaged in a plastic bottle, that might be done for a specific reason?....or does it not matter vs that of the blister pack strips?
Thanks Ed if you're able to answer this ~ I've got alittle worried for a minute where the source of my medication is coming from :-O LOL
I'm thinking of phoning the pharmacy, my old prescription (all written in english) says is produced in Buckinghamshire ~ but this stuff is from Madrid?
Kind regards
Nick
