RX-get the product info sheet from pharmacy-ER visit info

[Guest guest]

Cheryl, Your questions about Symax can be answered easily by your

pharmacist. You should ALWAYS ask for the product information sheet

that the pharmaceutical company puts into the package. Most pharmacies

do not give this out as it scares patients. But they will give it to

you and that small little sheet will tell you everything about the

drug. It will tell what it is, how it works, for it is used for, normal

prescribing info and possible side effects. You, and all of us, should

demand this every time we get a new drug. We all need to konw what we

take, the proper amount to take and especially WHY we are taking it.

Best of all, you should have all of your prescriptions written down for

that unexpected trip to the E.R., and be sure to include any herbal

things you take. The more that we know, the better informed patients we

become !!!!
