Your pills do not look like the brand name medication. The pills I have received have a different name printed on them. Why?
As we have already mentioned that no manufacturer can take out a patent for a chemical agent. Thus generics can have the exactly same active ingredients as the brand pills. However, names and appearance (shape and color) of medications can be and are always patented and should be treated as the intellectual property. Thus using the name and the shape of the brand pills a manufacturer producing generic medications will be accused of the copyright infringement. This is why generic pills look different, they are of a different color and have a different shape if compared to a brand name pill.

Regarding the effect: I do notice an increase in bloodflow and a better
stamina using the pills (I use 50mg). A side-effect I have noticed is that
my nose clogs up so I seem like I have a cold for an hour or so after taking
one pill. No other side-effects than that.
