Default Be Careful at the Pharmacy!

I just had a peculiar incident returning from the Walgreens pharmacy off 441 and Bella Cruz. I picked up my prescriptions and opened one of the bottles to put my pills in my weekly pill organizer when I noticed that there were two different sized pills in one bottle. The two different sizes have different markings and appear to be different medications.

I will be going back to the pharmacy in a few minutes to find out what this is all about, but it strikes me as being something that could be potentially dangerous. Someone not checking their pills carefully could easily accidently ingest the wrong medication. I never thought I would have to say this, but please be careful checking your medications.
