Tan Pravastatin

I have been taking pravastatin 80mg for over 6yrs, it's always been a white oval shaped pill with 7270 on one side and TEVA on the other side. I got my RX filled today, just opened the bottle to take my nightly meds, and it's a tannish colored oval shaped pill with LU on one side and NOL on the other side. Is this the same med? ## I believe the marking you're looking at is LU N04, the way they style the 4 makes it easy to mistake for an L on these tablets, because it's hard to see the formation of it in its entirety on the tablet's surface. And yes, it is an 80mg Pravastatin tablet, the pharmacy was probably able to get these one from Lupin Pharmaceuticals cheaper than the ones manufactured by Teva. Is there anything else I can help with?

Why would my prescription for pravastatin (20mg) contain a larger, fatter pill and a smaller, much thinner pill. Same bottle! Been taking it for a year and just got one of the little 7 compartment pill boxes. As I was filling it, I noticed for the first time the EXTREME difference in size. What effect would this have on dosage? I cannot believe the dosage would be the same. There is a 93 on one side and cannot read the other side. It is a pale tannish color. MFR - TEVA
