Default Called the pharmacist because bottle from pdoc is different

Hi,

I've been taking 240 Verapamil SA.
When I picked up my new script the bottle said 240 Verapamil ER.
The pharmacist told me on the phone a few minutes ago that they were the same thing.

They are not the same thing!
Otherwise they would have the same name!

She said that I can bring in my bottle of ER in the morning and trade it for the SA -- the one that the computer shows I have been taking.


The pdoc messed this up by not specifiying -- just wrote 240.
Next time I will check the script in his office.

A little anxious here.
. . . have not slept in a week or two it seems.


The store is open 24 hrs and only 2 1/2 miles from here. Maybe I should go out in the car now while I am in the mood to deal with this.
I would have to leave hubby a note because he is sleeping.

M.
