Enteric coatings should not be crushed. The pellets are the delivery mechanism.

Same shape here, different drug. The thing that helped was documenting the refusal rather than re-arguing it. They refer rather than write.

Changing prescriber does not reset anything, and people discover that the hard way.

You are not imagining it and you are not being difficult. Document it and take the document in. Side effects was my main issue with paying by card too.

Same here.

Sorry for the basic question, but how do you actually start one of these diaries?

Everyone here blames the drug. Half the time it is the appointment schedule, not the molecule.
