Hello,
I evaluated your concern in depth. Metoprolol is available in different shapes as round/oval/capsule shape triangle with different mg and M mentioned over the drug. Variance is in accordance with the batch sometimes also, so nothing to worry it is the same molecule of your prescription with newer look this time for better psychological advantage to you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
