Hi,

Same medicine by different manufacturers comes with different shape and size. Nothing much to worry as long as the active ingredient being the same.

You can rely on a trusted brand recommended by your physician rather than going behind cheaper alternatives.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
