I trust NOTHING to chance though. If they send a different shape or color of one of my meds I always look it up on line to make sure it's the right drug. Why do they make the same drug in so many different shapes and colors? lol
Good for you. I think it's funny that so many people think only a pharmacist can find out that info. I mean, sure, I can use a pill identifier program but why bother when google is so much easier...lol. I do tell my customers never to take anything if they're unsure and to call first. Better to be NOTHING but safe than sorry. Probably what I enjoy most is the patient education and talking to the customers in general. Should have been a teacher. It was actually what I really wanted to go to school for but my parents talked me out of it because teachers made NOTHING back in those days. So my guidance counselor suggested pharmacy since I did well in and liked chemistry. See, I may be a slow learner, but I'm not dumb.....
