Lots of good responses on here with valuable information and ideas. Just one more suggestion - when getting a refill of a medication, never hesitate to call the pharmacy if the pill looks different in any way. Most times it is just a different generic that was dispensed and the pharmacy staff failed to mention it, but you never know. I can't tell you how many times patients have called me and apologized profusely for bothering me to ask that question. My response is to say, no apology needed as it is NEVER a bother and to ALWAYS feel free to call before putting any medicine in your mouth if you are unsure.
