Healthy Living Tip #394
Never take someone else’s prescribed medication. You may think you both have the same problem, but your self-diagnosis could be off track, and you run the risk of serious side effects.
Healthy Living Tip #393
If the medication label says to take it with water, don’t take it with coffee or whatever’s handy. Other drinks may not dissolve the medication properly.
Healthy Living Tip #392

Healthy Living Tip #391
Prescription drugs are a necessary and constant part of many people’s lives. It is important to follow the directions to optimize their effects and minimize their risks.
Healthy Living Tip #357
Don’t flush expired meds down the toilet—it sends antibiotics and chemicals into the water supply. Mix with kitty litter or coffee grounds, then place in a sealed plastic bag and toss in the garbage or better yet, find out if your local pharmacy has a recycling program and take them in.
