dear al with raising 7 children my ped.dr. told me to find a copy of Physicians Desk Reference because it gives full details on usual doses and side effects.as my husband is 78 and i am 74 i also keep a copy of the book Worst pills Best Pills on hand because it is a good guide to seeing side effects and also tells you the generic names of meds. there have been times over the years that i took these books with me to doctors so they could check the meds.there is so much out there and busy doctors just can't always be clued in on everything that comes on the market.we adults must be able to question our doctors and if they won't take the time to answer you then i would go for another opinion.over the years we have had some of the very best and also some of the worst doctors.if i listened to some of them i would have been hospitalised for half my life. and common sense is important and if something doesn't seem right to you question it it until you are satisfied that you understand.the advice. best wishes connie tate -----Original Message----- From: Al Trader <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wednesday, June 23, 1999 7:33 PM Subject: Rx Problemdddddddddd Greetings from Downey CA. All this discussion on wrong Rx raised a concern. How does one check on generic prescriptions. I recently picked up my three months supply of selegiline HCL. There were three different types of tab with three different markings. Is there someway of verifying what these tabs are? Arthur L. "Al" TRADER MAKE IT A GREAT DAY
