If a drug company has to change the appearance of a drug, maybe some education is in order.

Keep in mind how many prescriptions are taken OUT of their bottles by half-blind seniors, and put in “pill organizers” that subsequently get dropped on the floor. If very different drugs look too similar, one could accidentally overdose. If something like that happens, and a drug manufacturer has to change a pill’s appearance, why not cop to that fact?
