explains the capsule sizes.
If you are taking 5mg CAPSULES, you would only be getting 2.5mg by 4 hrs. That is really a small amount. |
Mrs. D, I can't find a matching description. Mine is in a clear capsule labeled: Barr 954. The color inside is kind of an off-white.
I called the pharmacy with that info and all the pharmacist said was, "the doctor probably wanted to start you out at the lowest dose possible." Hmmmm. Doc's office is closed for lunch. Maybe I'll call later. I'm sure they already think I'm a "problem child", lol!
