Verify Drug Identifier Inscribed In Pill
The atenolol med I am taking is manufactured by Ranbaxy and has the letters and number inscribed on the pill RE 20. I just started taking and am getting severe adverse reactions. Previously was taking atenolol manufactured by Geneva/Sandoz and did not have any reactions for the last eight years. I pharmacy says they are OK'd by the FDA. Cost savings. The drug has enlarged my veins near my wrists and have felt anxious as well as stomach swelling after eating meals. How can I verify that the drug has the prescribed chemical makeup that should be in it? I think that it is another drup and giving me side effects.
