"But when I saw the pharmacist that's been advising me, he questioned it." Hello All, You know, when it comes to medications, supplements and drugs that we put into our bodies, I believe it is the Pharmacists that have it way over the Doctors. I mean, drugs and how they affect the body is what Pharmacists are educated to be most knowledgeable about. In my opinion, the most that Doctors know about the drugs they prescribe to us, their patients, is what the drug representatives tell them. And, who knows what other things the Doctor has on his/her mind at the time the drug rep is there? Are they even listening? When I have a question about a new medication or a change in the color, shape, or form that is different from what I am used to seeing in my medications, it is not the Doctor whom I call first. I always ask my Pharmacist. And, I have yet to be mislead. Plus, the Pharmacist knows best how medications react with other prescribed meds that we put into our bodies. At the present I am taking 12 prescribed medications and 9 supplements. I have discussed with my Pharmacist regarding each and every one of the pills, capsules, ampoules, or whatever form they come in, that I swallow, and make sure that each one is safe for me to take on its own and in conjunction with all of the other meds I am taking. So lets listen a bit more to the Nutritionists and Pharmacists in our lives. We will be a bit more safe and might even get some much needed education along the way. Does anyone agree or disagree with me or have anything to add to this, my Brilliant observation? Peace and Prayers, Jube
