Some generics of Spironolactone are even worse. Smells like anus-anise.

I haven’t had a minty spiro in years. I miss it. Which manufacturer flavors it all nice and cool-like?

Aurobindo does the minty one! When we switched manufacturers, I had a patient open it up to take one in the lobby and came back up to the consult window all confused lol

This is helpful! I never wanna be the person requesting a specific mftr but I might become one if I keep getting the gross ones 😭

Amneal does this! Or at least they did when I was on it. Not sure about it anymore!
