Sounds like you have a problem there. Keep up with the medicine and hopefully you will lead a long, happy, life.\nGood luck with that.

Actually drug companies don't have a responsibility to the patients. But they have a single responsibility to its share holders; to increase the profits. Unfortunately, they are companies trying to make money. They want to be well, but they don't want to give you a pill that will cure you. They want you to take the pill for the rest of your life so they can make money while you can be disease-free. For AIDS, we don't have a single pill that can make you well. But we have a so-called "cocktail", which is a combination of a dozen or so of pills, that you have to take for the rest of your life.

THE DOCTOR CAN GIVE YOU SOME MEDICINE TO HELP PASS THEM

You need to check with the phamacist or the doctor who gave you the prescription to be sure you use it correctly...anyone else is just guessing.

They do it to make you, the consumer, spend lots of unnecessary money on things you don't need, and also to make you feel like they are doing something to help you! My doctor used to do that with me, until one day, I was very upfront with him. He doesn't prescribe anything for my family or me without us actually needing it.

I completely agree with your sentiments regarding the choice of dispensing certain medications based on moral beliefs.\n\nAs I am a pre-pharm major, I have difficulty understanding still.. why morality is able to be judged in this profession.  As any form of medical treatment, it should be provided regardless of someone's opinion on the matter... granted the correct prescription is written and such.  \n\nIt is amazing how many medications are frowned upon by certain individuals, even though they are used for many different ailments.  \n\nBirth Control pills, for example, are very often prescribed due to a health condition that requires hormonal regulation.  I see no morality issue in assisting someone from having serious side-effects from the lack of regulation.  \n\nI believe everyone should have the opportunity to gain immediate access to written prescriptions.  Doctors have the capability of understanding and diagnosing problems... they have the ability to prescribe medications to assist in overcoming or helping these problems..  Why should a pharmacist be able to say no?  I certainly do not understand.\n\nI can only hope that more people decide to enter the pharmaceutical profession with an open mind, and the knowledge that everyone has a right to healthcare.

No, and it can come back if you don't take them all.  Have your doctor's office call you in a prescription to the pharmacy if you are a longtime patient and too busy.  They do it all the time.

Actually it depends on the state. It is unethical to prescribe or treat members of your own family.  States can be very specific on category of medications a doc can prescribe such as controlled substances.  Some docs will write a script to individuals as a professional courtesy if they trust their judgment...such as a doc writing a script for a nurse.  They do take a risk when doing that as the previous response stated they should have a good history, know allergies and so forth.  If the patient does have an adverse reaction that physician would have a legal liability.

Some people do need the medication, but drugs as a whole are overprescibed in this country.  It has to do with society as a whole.  We have all been trained that this is what you do.  Even commercials today tout the benefits of various drugs and tell you to go to your doctor and ask about them.

The only valid reason for any prescribed medicine would be a serious impairement.  Otherwise, all medication should be weaned down and eliminated.  We are made to be healthy.  We are not made to be sick.  With reasonable eating and exercise, most of us can handle daily life pretty well.

You should only take the amount proscribed by your doctor. Your doctor selected that dosage for a reason. A person can overdose on many drugs, not just the illegal ones.

You are supposed to take to full dosage prescribed to you as the infection or illness can return.  You should've used it up.

A lot of women use birth control for just that reason. You're going to have to talk to your doctor about this, since you're taking those medications.

Your problem is laziness.  Sure they have great treatments for those ailments but do you really want to take medication for the rest of your life?  And they wonder why so many people are fat.  L A Z Y!!
