We Take Multiple Prescriptions Monthly. Pharmacy Saves Money By Refilling

we take multiple prescriptions monthly. pharmacy saves money by refilling their supplies
from many companies. (they each use their own 'id nos./logos, etc). on pills, etc). we usually have a week or so of left overs from the prior refill before we re-order. We have had numerous errors in connecting the left overs and the new brands as they do not 'match' brands/logos. I believe this is a very serious problem.... with not being able to match current brands/refill brands etc. (ex: Allupurinal 100 mg. init. fill: pill id'd with: N020.. Refill info showed pill id: 2083V & GGL7. Have no idea what co. these refer to. How do I know if these are the same pills, strengths, etc? I believe our FDA needs to help us save ourselves from ourselves. I'm sure that many of the prescription deaths monthly are caused by this prob. by senior citizens like ourselves. Can you advise what to do? Who should we contact for clarification? Please save us from ourselves!!!! Thank you.
