M32 Versus C74

Updated

Is there any difference in these to metoprolol 50 mg pills? I am prescribed C74 and my mother is prescribed M32.

Hi, Strawberry! How are you?

Your doctor doesn't actually prescribe you any specific tablet with a certain marking. They prescribe the medication and dosage, the tablet you actually when you get it filled by your pharmacy depends on which one they have in stock, because it can vary depending on what company was offering the cheapest price, when they re-ordered from their distributor.

Both the tablet that you've received with the C 74 marking on it and the M32 tablet that your mother received from her pharmacy contain 50mgs of Metoprolol, they are just manufactured by different companies. This is very common when a medication is available as a generic. It creates some market competition to help keep prices down.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Thanks! But if we had to, even though I know it's not good to do, and one of us ran out, then we could take a pill of each others until the other one gets theirs filled?
