If lil' Moma is correct, then it appears your doctor has reduced your dosage from 1000 mg/day of riba to 800 mg/day of riba. Is this something he discussed with you? As stated, riba is riba and 800 mg is not 1000 mg, unless I'm missing something here.

Hey dude, just don't injest foreign slimies from the floor and you should be alright.

You're *sure* you're not married?
Actually, I think there were making two doses other than 200. The new ones could be 400 and 500 or 400 and 600. Not sure now.
Sometimes my riba comes in a bottle, sometimes it comes in a blister pack, either way, they are blue pills (about the size of a multivitamin) and it says right on it 400. Also the blister pack is labeled AM Pills day 1 (and so on) and PM pills day 1 (and so on) so you dont forget where you are into the blister pack (brain fog ya know)
My hubby, since he is done with his shots now (last one #48 was on friday) he also was sent the blister pack. Before they always sent him the 200 mg but they did put a little note in letting him know about the change.

I think that I read in one of those VX-950 trial thinggys that it's dosed every 8 hours. Riba is a little more shotgun like but it seems like with Vertex compliance is a little more strict.
Does your Riba come in capsules? That I could handle, but those pills that come wrapped up so tight you can't get them open. Benedryl and Prilosec come in impossible to open packaging. I sometimes don't bother with it. In a Riba rage, I might try blowing the sucker up!
