    I'm not sure - ring your pharmacist as they will know, Pat.

    I was going to say it's probably just the manufacturers that are different

    There is often a difference in appearance when there is a change in manufacture. The drug should work in the same way.

    Silvia is right, Pat.

    I'm a nurse and loads of people manufacture medication.

    It all depends what your druggist/pharmacy has in stock.

    So don't worry about your medicine looking diferent. If you are worried, check with your pharmacist.

    I've had lots of meds which one month are blue and the next are white!

    As long as it's the same medicine, manufactured by a different company, you need not worry.

    love Tess xxxxxxxx
