There's an image of the tablets at https://drugiden.ubu.ac.th/?gn=1187  They are unstamped.

Thanks Oxx, good find. So that means greater pharma dont stamp the actual tablets with the 850 dosage. 

To fully rule it out if someone has personal experience with greater pharma metformin packaging and tablet can confirm it would be amazing

Do a Google image search. Most tablets are similar to the photo below, with 850 or 500 clearly marked on each tablet, or, they have other markings. See if you can find one that looks like yours and visit the website to find out more.

 

The other thing of concern is the quality of the printing on the blister pack. Possibly it's a low resolution photo but whenever I see printing like that it suggests to me it originates from a low quality scan of the original. KuhnBENQ even has to highlight to Sheryl the word Greater, that's how bad it is. Regardless of whether it is cheap or not, the printing is not to the standard you would expect from a genuine manufacturer. If genuine, and I doubt it, a problem with the clarity of printing like that should not get past quality control. The use by date is 2023 so it's unlikely the printing has degraded already.

 

I just looked at some 10 baht strips of Vitamin B tablets I have and the much smaller printing is sharp and clear, not like in the photo. Printing like that on any product packaging, plastic goods, electronics etc. it's what you find on Chinese copies. I'd want to see a photo of this product purchased from somewhere reputable like Boots to compare with before I would accept it as genuine.

 

 

Thanks, yes I am unable to find a good picture of the packaging blister pack of greater pharma 850MG to compare with. 

The greater pharma website has a really old picture with some boxes zoomed far away

There is a brand of Metformin made in Thailand called "Miformin" made by Greater Pharma and it does come in 850mg dose.

 

I can't tell from your picture what is written in the circles on the packaging, is it "Greater"? (should be).

 

And I can't tell you what the pills should look like.  But it is unsual not to have dosage marked on a pill.

 

you can see a pix of the box it comes in one the manufacturer's site  http://www.greaterpharma.com/product/pro_detail.php?cid=12&cid_pr=12&pid=141&cname=ORAL ANTIDIABETIC AGENTS&show=0

 

 

Yes it says greater on the back of them the logo is very small print and hard to read 

the picture on the greater pharma website is very low quality hard to tell

Hi all, I ordered some metformin online from Thailand and I received this metformin (see attached pictures) Is this a legitimate brand and is it normal for the tablet not to be stamped? Does it look like this the packaging ? Appreciate if anyone else has experience with this same metformin tablet brand ? See attached picture I am suspicious 

thanks for your help
