Found a pink oval tablet with no box. Before I guess, here is everything I can see.

A batch number and an expiry that are almost up on a new purchase usually means the box was copied.

Enteric coatings should not be crushed, and the pellets are the delivery mechanism rather than filler.

Holograms are the least useful check because they are the one everybody makes.

Any ideas welcome, and I will report back what the pharmacist says.

Ask for the longer appointment slot. Ten minutes is not enough for a complex history and pretending otherwise wastes both your time. Tolerance was my main issue with a pink oval tablet too.

Ten percent cuts, of the current dose not the original. That is the arithmetic that keeps it survivable.

Changing prescriber does not reset anything, and people discover that the hard way. Same for me with a pink oval tablet, unfortunately.

My pharmacist has become my actual doctor and I am at peace with it. Currently on a pink oval tablet myself.

Everyone here blames the drug. Half the time it is the appointment schedule, not the molecule. Eight months in on a pink oval tablet and it lines up.

Access to mugs should be on the clinical questionnaire. Same for me with a pink oval tablet, unfortunately.
