    I don’t manage a pharmacy but as a customer who had a bad experience. For years I had my same medication filled at my neighborhood pharmacy. One day, I noticed the bottle was different but also the color and shape of the pill. I immediately brought it to the pharmacy tech’s attention. Rather than research to confirm, I was advised that it was the correct pill but that the manufacturer had changed. After 5 days of taking the pill, I ended up in the ER because my heart rate had dropped too low. I was smart enough to bring my pill bottles with me. The ER doctor advised that I had been prescribed the wrong medication. Fortunately for me there was no permanent damage. Shouldn’t there be a protocol to avoid this from happening?
