that just happened to me also, i went from the sandoz to the zyd (metformin 500mg) , the zyd is bigger and ive been on it a couple weeks, ever since they switched, (same pharmacy,(walmart) same drugest) so why the 2 different pills?..back to my comment, ever since they switched me to this bigger pill ive had a hard time going to the bathroom, i have to go but it wont come out and when i finally force it out, it hurts, maybe a coincidence but just seems strange, i take lisinopril 30mg with it, i was takin 20 mg with the sandoz metformin but they bumped me up to the 30mg..
