has anyone else had a change in the packaging of boceprevir?

Hi all!
I am just putting this out there, because i just noticed when I opened up a new container of boceprevir I was surprised to see they were not blue anymore they ar yellow and red.  Because it is a sunday night I won't be able to ask the trial team.  Thankfully I have one more day supply of the blue ones.  I rec"d the wrong meds early on  in the trial so now I am checking everything.  Any information would be helpful??

Thanks for getting back to me on this,

Its funny you ask about the metallic taste, I always thought that was coming from the ribavarin.  Either way the taste is stll there, I wonder if we'll ever look at food the same again.
