No, not a Placebo, this is Diazepam 10mgs, a generic for Valium.
Are you having trouble with this pill not working? Unfortunately the FDA allows the active ingredients in generics to differ by as much as plus or minus 20% from the name brands, so if the company has poor quality control, you could have gotten a bad batch.
There are also no regulations requiring that the inactive ingredients, which are used for binders and fillers, be the same at all. They can use whatever they wish for that as long as it is approved for us in drugs. So if it seems these pills have no affect on you, something in the inactive ingredients could also disagree with your body so it doesn't work as well for you as other brands would. You might want to talk to your doc about getting the name brand, or ask your pharmacy if they can provide a different generic.
Most pharmacies do stock several, but unless you request otherwise, they will automatically fill your scrip with whichever is cheapest for them to obtain and keep on their pharmacy shelves.
I got my prescription today for 10mg generic valium. They are green and have mylan477 on them.Are these considered generic valium or was there a mistake.
