First off, they may be the wrong drug!!! You should check online to verify you are getting the right drug, "before" you take them.

Or, they found somewhere they could get them cheaper.

They buy their medication from the cheapest vendor. The pharmacy purchasing unit probably re-evaluates the cost at regular intervals, changing vendors as market costs change. In one year, I will typically get three or four different types of loratidine. I always request pills in the bottle, not the blister packs, but find that they give me what they have in stock.

I wonder if our meds are made in china sometimes?

I sometimes get different looking drugs because they are constantly coming out with generic versions. It's the same drug though.
