Hello there. Generally there shouldn't be a problem with taking 2 different brands though occasionally some patients report a personal preference to a particular brand. You may take it for now and next time try to get the medicines form the pharmacy closer to where your doctor is practicing as they are more likely to stock the medications accordingly.
