Hi and thank you so much for this query.

It is possible that different brands may cause slightly different side effects depending on the various ingredients used beside the active ingredient. I will suggest that you talk to your pharmacist so that he can try to dispense just that previous brand that has proven to be a lot more effective for you.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Thank you so much for using our services, we very much appreciate this.
