Brief Answer: Need examination & ivestigation Detailed Answer: Dear friend, Welcome to Health Care Magic Theoretically minor differences are possible But most manufacturers are approved and standardised – the difference, if any, should be small and not be significant It will be better to look for other reasons - new problems, complications See an Internist / get yourself examined / basic investigation like kidney function and so on may be necessary... Most people need more than one drug - to achieve the target levels... Take care Wishing all well God bless
