One of the easiest things that you can do to prevent a medical mistake is to check your medicines before leaving the pharmacy counter. You need to check to be sure your name is on the bottle and look inside to make sure you have the right drug and the right number of pills. If you have a question or if something just does not seem right to you, ask your pharmacist before you leave the pharmacy counter. Be sure to clear up any questions before you take your medicines.
If you get your prescriptions in the mail and you have a question you can call the number provided by the mail-order pharmacy or contact your doctor or a community pharmacist (such as at a local drugstore) for information. Remember, do this before taking any of the medication.
