First you must get the exact spelling of the prescribed med. Then I suggest you might go to the wwweb resources page 17 and look for the Pharminfo Drug Database. You can search that database by drug tradename or generic name. Good luck. As far as did someone else's Dr. prescribe the *correct* meds? I would be very very cautious in that discussion...... The data you discover is an educational base to assist in better understanding your meds when you discuss with your prescribing professional. The Index URL is listed below....
