Start using? Not direct cause and effect but, a former friend used to take tetracycline a common antibiotic that he bought from a tropical fish place.
I take HA Joint, It was originally used on horses. He suggested it is far cheaper to buy the stuff for horses.
As to pharmacist, I am amazed at how much you need to know and the fact that today we are forced to go to places like Windixie, Publix and Walmart for prescriptions.
Not in Florida and many years ago, I had a shopping mall pharmacist fill my prescription with the proper drug but 100x as strong. I compared it to what I had and never took it.
When, I took it back he told me he was not aware that it was made that strong.
My doctor told me it may have killed me if I took it..
I regularly, realize, on my job at worst a mistake cost someone a few bucks. I was not making decisions everyday that could cost anyone their health or their life.
