I would like to know if pharmacy could end up with boot lrg bottles of medicine. One medicine I have taken for a while does not seem to be working like it was. I have seen in articles that this can happen. Is there some place you can send a pill and have it checked out for safety?

If you filled your prescription at a pharmacy, it probably has the right ingredients, whether the brand name or a generic equivalent. U.S. companies buying drugs from China analyze them when they come in. Sometimes drugs lose their effectiveness if the patients' conditions change. Diabetics can lose responsiveness to oral antidiabetic drugs.

You may want to start by talking to your doctor. Your body may start to develop a tolerance to the medicine. Much like you body develops a tolerance to alcohol.
I think this is a more likely scenario.
