I have a prescription for metoprolol. Last month's prescription says novo metoprolol. This month's prescription says apo metoprolol.
What is the difference between the apo and novo prefix?

Are you inquiring about it as a prefix of any particular medicine. It could be the brand name. If you have more information, please add it as a comment and I'll try to help.

I take metoprolol. One prescription bottle says "novo metoprolol" and another says "apo metoprolol". I was just wondering what the difference was.

Yes, in this instance the Apo and Novo definitely resembles the brand.
