I RECEIVED PILLS FOR THE FIRST TIME FROMOPTUM RX THROUGH THE MAIL. BEEN USING METCO AND MY INSURANCE CHANGED THE MAIL ORDER COMPANY. I JUST RECEIVED ONE OF MY MEDICATIONS. THE SHAPE IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FROM PAST ORDERS OF THIS DRUG....WHETHER THROUGH MEDCO OR MY LOCAL PHARMACIST. THE DRUG IS MEDOPROLOL SUCC TAB 50 MG ER THYE COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURES THIS DRUG IS DIFFERENT THAN THE COMPANIES I HAVE RECEIVED BEFORE THIS COMPANY IS MYLAN. THE SHAPE OF THE PILL IS KIND OF OVAL. CAN NOT FIND THE 50 MG SHAPE ON THE COMPUTER CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME IF I HAVE RECEIVED THE RIGHT PERSCRIPTION PLEASE?
