I have had three big medical problems with prescriptions in the last ten years...I have actually written them up at another site...Big mistakes...
I have found that the doctor's will prescribe the prescription but he does not know of the problems involved with taking them...It is the pharmacist that you MUST talk to about this...When you think of it, how can a doctor know all these things...He is up to his ears just trying to keep up with all the new drugs and to try and recall each and every thing about them is just about impossible.
Talk to the pharmacist about each drug...They will check thoroughly for you...I have had some serious problems in my life because the doctor did not realize some important things about the drug and I really can't blame him...I guess I would have to say it is up to us as the patient to be sure that we know what we are taking even if he gives us a sample...
