there is a few great rules that i have for people to make sure that they are not taking more medications than they are supposed to. number one is use one pharmacy. that should be the one-stop shop for all of your needs including getting to know the pharmacist on a first name basis we are more than happy to help you. one of the other things is two is to carry a medication list. a medication list is all the medications that you are taking including over-the-counters vitamins and herbal supplements. bring that to your pharmacist and make sure that they have that on record. so therefore every time you get something filled or you have a question we can check that out for you. we might actually be able to tell you right off that list whether or not you are taking two of the same medications. two medications that may work for a same condition. they may work a little differently but their side-effects may be doubling onto each other causing you more drowsiness or more dizziness or nausea. so therefore it's one of the things that we say to people you know know your medicine and know your pharmacist. get to know your pharmacist on a first name basis. we'll look out for you that's our number one priority.
