Is this genuine? A loose blister looks right in every way except one thing I cannot quite name.

Holograms are the least useful check because they are the one everybody makes.

Reagent tests are a screen, not an assay. They rule a family in or out and say nothing about dose.

Pellets inside a capsule are normal for enteric formulations and are not a sign of anything.

A smell that is wrong is a reason to look closer, not a verdict. Excipients do most of the smelling.

Any ideas welcome, and I will report back what the pharmacist says.
