Can Shape Of Tablet Change The Content Of Metformin?
I received two new refills on my meds. But the pills do not look like the ones that I had before. I received both metformin hack in big round pills when the ones before were oblong in shape. The second one is coreg and now they are big round pills when before they were tiny round pills. Are these the same meds?

Hello,
If both the meicines are labelled as metformin,then there is nothing to worry regarding their contents and the contents are definitely metformin only.
Different companies make the same medicine with different size,shape,colour and names and hence it should not be worried about.
Thanks
