I have two bottles of Metformin HLC Tabs. One is a refill for the other. The tabs are different shapes made by different companies. Same strength is the same. Is this a mistake.

This type of thing does confuse many people, which is why I think more medications should be standardized as to how they look.

However, right now they aren't, so you can receive the same medication, manufactured by different companies and they may look completely differently.

As of this time, the way a medication looks is entirely up to the whit and whim of the manufacturer.

And Metformin is a generic, so both of the tablets asked about are generics in 500mgs.

Learn more Metformin details here.

This is an oral antidiabetic medication and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and flatulence.

Are there any questions or concerns?
