The safety of prescription drugs should always be determined in consultation with a healthcare professional. In general, a safe prescription drug should only be taken when it has been identified as an appropriate treatment for your specific condition and needs, you are aware of any potential side effects or interactions with other medications or substances, and the physician has provided accurate dosing and monitoring instructions.
