Why are some Valium and Klonopin hollow and others arent????????????
I looked up on google images and came across Valium and Klonopin that were hollowed out with a “V” or a “K”. My Valium are not generic, are manufactured by ROCHE laboratories (the same company) but they are small, flat and look nothing like that. What is the difference?
Chosen Answer:
Only the brand drug (Klonopin and Valium) have a hollow center. The generic forms do not have hollow centers (Clonazepam and Diazepam, respectively). Check your pharmacy label each time there is a difference in your medication. They may have substituted the generic without asking you first (this is legal).

Not only is there a difference between the way brand and generic pills look, there are differences between manufacturers.
Sometimes a pharmacy tries to order a drug that is backordered for various reasons. Now the pharmacy has to look for a substitute med that may not look like what they usually dispense.
