[Melatonin 3 mg]

Hi I have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. I currently take a few medications such as Ritalin , Concerta XL and Risperidone .I am a little bit confused about my new updated prescription Melatonin at night time .My consultant psychiatrist wrote a letter to my GP about my updated medications but for some medical reason the consultant wanted me to have the Bio Melatonin 3 mg tablets , the letter but also I found out that when the GP changed it it now says on my repeat prescription Melatonin 3 mg capsules at night time ! and i should be taking Bio melatonin 3 mg tablets not the capsules strength , so should I contact my consultant if this isn't right on my repeats ?? sian
