  Hi Colin, glad to hear you're on the mend. I ALWAYS check my prescriptions when I get them from the surgery and when the tablets are handed over to me (comes from starting my career in drug toxicology), you get some funny looks sometimes but it's my body they are going in!
  
  I've seen one set of my tablets be rejected when checked by the 2nd pharmacist as they were double the strength prescribed. It's especially necessary when your prescription is for a generic drug, my usual ones come in three different colours depending where the pharmacy can get them cheapest.
  
  There was a similar post on here a couple of weeks ago, often comes down to the pharmacy splitting packs when a non standard number are prescribed.
