Is Glaxsosmithkline Wellbutrin 300XL The Same As Valeant Wellbutrin 300XL?
I ve been taking Glaxsosmithkline brand wellbutrin 300xl. They refilled my rx with valeant wellbutrin 300xl saying it was the same exact gsk pill just manufactured by Valeant. I just received them and they don t look the same. I am supposed to be on brand only because i have had serious problems with generics of this. Is this truly the same as gsk or is this going to be like taking another generic??

Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, the same dosage of Wellbutrin versus Valeant will give best and similar clinical results with equal efficacy.
* The external appearance will differ according to the company as well as formulations, but the mg content would be same for everyone as taken care by FDA very vigilantly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
