I understand! I always want verification too. After all, mistakes have been made many times. And your health is at risk if you are prescribed a certain medication and another is given accidentally. Horror stories abound, even in hospital settings.
And there have been a few instances on this very board where people received the wrong medication.
It's your health, and you have every right to be assured you have the correct medication. But, even with the correct medication, it's your responsibility to read up on the drug and make sure you understand how to properly take the med, know the side effects and be careful about interactions with other drugs, food, alcohol etc. |
