Size Of 300 Mg Avapro Being The Size Of 150 Mg Pills, Number On Pill 2873. Suggested 300 Mg By Pharmacist. Guide

They appeared to be l50 mg. which I started with before the doctor increased it to 300 mg. When I questioned the pharmacist he checked and said they were being made by a different company (
sorry I inadvertently deleted my question. I recently ordered Avapro 300 mg (not the generic). When i picked them up at the Pharmacy I noticed that they were smaller in size, the exact size of the l50 mg pills which I had been taking until I was increased to the 300 mg. When I questioned the pharmacist he checked with www. WWW.WWWW.WW and told me they were being make by another company (Sanofi ) which he said even though they were the size of the l50mg tablet they were indeed 300mg. The number on the pill is 2873. I am fearful that these pills are not 300mg Avapro. If they are, what size is the l50mg pill. Please check this out. Thank you.

hello,
thank you for using healthcare magic,
well it is not necessary that size of pill should get bigger with dose .. plus it changes with different manufacturing company.. you read its cover carefully ..they must have written its dose like irbesartan 150mg or irbesartan 300mg..
if you can not make out you can show it to your doctor or you can ask any other pharmacist ..
hope this helps you..
take care..
