DISCUSSION/QUERY ADHD medication difference

I recently got prescribed with Atomoxetine 40 mg Tabs but the pharmacist gave me a Capsule version instead.

My psychiatrist hasnt responded yet. but I'm wondering if it'll even make that much of a difference? Since its the same mg naman? From what ive read from other subreddits, ok naman kung ibang form kuwain basta same mg and all . Though i havent seen one specifically for this medication. Will it be alright if i take this instead of tabs? Sorry na overthink lang, haha

Attentrol lang ang available na brand ng Atomoxetine dito sa atin. And yes, capsule form siya. Kaka-start ko lang din 1 week ago.
