Do you know what to expect from your
prescription drug? Is it supposed to relieve pain, calm
nerves, or perhaps help you sleep?
What about possible side-effects such as dizzi-

are not always serious, but sometimes an adjustment in
dosage, schedule, or drug may be needed.
Take my advice — get to know your pharmacist.
