duke,
Thanks for your question.
Since Simvastatin (brand name - Zocor) went generic a few years ago, several companies are now producing it at cheaper prices. Each company's tablet will look different and our display may not contain the exact generic that you are presently using. If there are any questions, just check with the pharmacist to be sure you are taking the correct drug. In general, generics are safe and as effective as the brand name products.
Hope this has been helpful.
