Consultations
It used to be easier to get information about your medicines.
Doctors could take the time to tell you what to expect with the medicine they were starting you on.
You got helpful information about your pills whenever you picked up your prescriptions at your local pharmacy.
Those days are gone.
Today, you have several doctors, and they don’t seem to know what each other is doing.
Your prescriptions arrive in the mail with sheets of information, all in tiny print.
How should you take your medicines, vitamins and supplements, and how can you stay safe when taking them?
Where can you get clear information about what your pills are for, and how to Take Them Safely?
During my 42 years of practicing pharmacy, I have seen significant changes in our medical care system, especially over the past decade.
I see how folks are living longer, are seeing more doctors, and taking more medicines.
But they’re NOT always taking their medicines SAFELY!
Today, doctors barely have time to find out what’s wrong with you, let alone explain how your new medicine works or what to expect from it.
Mail order prescriptions may be cheaper, but don’t give you the opportunity to ask a pharmacist about your medicine.
You can use the internet to get information, but it’s not easy to tell if what you find is helpful or just hype.
