Are Mycophenolate Mofetil 500 Mg Tablets The Same As Cellcept?

I just received mycophenolate mofetil 500 mg tablets through a mail order pharmacy (as required by my insurance company). It looks completely different than the generic I have been taking. The one I have been taking is manufactured by Roxane Labs and is a large white oval tablet. The one I just received is sort of a mocha-colored tablet, also oval, but quite a bit smaller. I just want to make sure that the drug sent is actually the same medication (generic CellCept).

Hello,
Relax and don't worry .
Both MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL 500mg and CELLCEPT are same.
Different companies make the same medicine with different colours,shape and sizes.Same drug from two companies wil never look alike.
Use the medicine without worry.
Thanks
