Cant you read the f’in bottle before taking the drug?
Many pharmacies are cutting corners on labeling — you can’t be sure what is on a bottle anymore.
Seems like they never discussed the medication with the patient. Sadly, lots of patients attitude is “give me the f’n drug, I’ve already waited 25 minutes”
Pharmacists have to be at least painstakingly, if not obsessively, careful. But the caseload and distractions can swamp the pharmacists ability to cope. Then they need to talk to the patient and make sure the patient understands what they are going to take. There is no pharmacy around that can handle 3 or 4 hundred prescriptions a day and do all that, unless there are 4 or 5 pharmacists present. Total pile of poop waiting to happen.
What would the bottle tell a patient? What if is the correct label, wrong drug?
I suppose they would know the exact drug prescribed by the doctor, but many people are trusting.
I make sure to always read the bottle confirming its my name on the prescription and the right medication before taking..this is why you should ALWAYS check and double check
No, the print is too dang small.
