They are both top quality European generics. I tend to go with KRKA Apaurin, but that decision has more to do with the price/vendor. To be honest if I were blindfolded, and just swallowed the pill, I don't think I could tell them apart.
As an aside... The only Apaurin people used to be a bit funny about were the 5mg pills which had a totally different look. They were small, and had a hard green shell (like a well known brand of candy). People seemed to think they were bunk. Some years ago I investigated and had my guy in Eastern Europe get me a box of 10mg and a box of 5mg. As far as I could tell the 5mg seemed equivalent to the 5mg UK Actavis I'd be prescribed. But there wasn't much market for 5mg pills anyway, so not really an issue. Just odd that KRKA would press them so differently.
