none ## Can you please post more details such as the dosage, any letters or numbers appearing on the pill, shape, color, size, etc ? If we have more specific details then we'll be able to give a definite answer. Many times the same drug can have a variety of appearances, especially in the case of generic drugs. Every individual manufacturer, as well as every different dose can vary in appearance. ## In addition to the variance in appearance, they are required by law to have different imprints, this enables them to be identified by manufacturer, dosage and active ingredient.

I'm going on a long plane trip to Italy. Taking Lisinopril (10 mg) a.m + Toprol xl (25 mg) am and p.m. My Dr. has given me Ativan (1 mg) for anxiety to take 1 hr. before the flight. I'm very worried about mixing these 3 all at one time. Also concerned about Ativan not lasting through the 16 hrs of my trip. Any suggestions? It's my first time taking Ativan. The closer the trip gets the more anxious I am. What about splitting up the dose of Ativan in half in case 1 mg doesn't last 16 hours? I'm also, wondering about getting on Italy's time zone schedule for my blood pressure meds since they are 9 hours ahead of us in AZ. Can I skip a day or take my dose a few hours early to get on the same schedule as AZ? Any thoughts are appreciated. P.S. I also have Valium that I...

white round pill. M onone side and C34 0n the other side. was issued as Carvediolol but is not the standard oval shape as in the past. ## When a drug is available for generic production, it is often manufactured by many, many different companies. There is no rules regarding how they look, what color they must be or etc. Their shape, color and etc. are up to the whit and whim of the manufacturer. That said, this is the same medication, generic for Coreg, just a different manufacturer than you had before.

What is a round, white, scored tablet that has m over 100 on one side, and nothing on other side? Is this Metoprolol Succinate? ## A white round pill marked with “m” over “100” on one side and scored on the other, is in fact identified as Metoprolol Succinate ER. NDC: 00186-7302 (Discontinued) Manufacturer: Par Pharmaceuticals ## I am on the prescription Metoprolol ER 200 mg. I just refilled my script and noticed the pill to be a different size. I called the pharmacy and it was verified that I have the correct pills. The last bottle of this medicine was a rather large, football shape pill. I do not have any more of those, but am wondering if I was given the wrong pills last time. Does this medicine come in other shapes?

I recently ordered Lisinopril and was given a round pill with rx 535 on it. My last order of Lisinopril was oval and had E104 stamped on the pill. This makes me a little leary of taking my current order. Can someone tell me if they are the same? Thank You. ## Yes RX 535 is also Lisinopril, 40 mg to be exact. ## I recently ordered Lisinopril and was given a oval pill with E104 on it. My last order of Lisinopril was round pill with WW270 stamped on the pill. This makes me a little leary of taking my current order. Can someone tell me if they are the same? Thank You ## To answer your question Ken: E104 is Lisinopril 40 mg manufactured by Eon. WW270 is also Lisinopril 40 mg, but manufactured by West-Ward. So it's the same generic drug made by 2 different manufacturers. Hope this helps!

my son just had his wisdom teeth removed. the bleeding doesn't seem to want to stop. he is on Benazepril and Digitek. Do they thin his blood? ## Linda, Both seem to be cardiac / blood pressure drugs, so it could be very possible that they would affect the amount of bleeding. Ultimately the oral surgeon should know about him being on these meds so that any additional precautions can be taken. Wishing your son a smooth recovery, Mark ## thanks Mark, as it turns out his meds do not have blood thinners. The oral surgeon finally called and he said all was fine, that he had to dig deeper to remove them. But you are so kind to wish my son well, it made me smile, thanks~ Linda ## Linda, You're very welcome :) I can sympathize because I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed about 10 yrs ago and...
