When we purchase prescription drugs there is an information sheet attached which tells about the actions of the drug, interactions with other medicines and precautions to take.  It is written in plain everyday English, and is not hard to understand. I always read these before taking a new drug, and today it paid off.  I saw a new practicioner at my regular clinic where I have been a patient for nearly 20 years.  She prescribed a medication for me that (1) should not have been prescribed with a second one that she gave me and (2) it could have been very bad for a chronic condition I have, possibly landing me in the hospital.  I highlighted the warnings on the information sheet and talked first with my pharmacist who said it would be best if I did not take this medicine, and then went back to my clinic and told them about it.  Please take responsibility for your own health and read these instructions that come with your prescription drugs.  Anyone can make a mistake, and we need to be alert to that possibility. It could save you a lot of trouble and possibly serious complications. Gram
