The “People Power” Health Superbook: Book 17. Prescription Drug Guide (Drug Allergies, Free & Low - Cost Drugs, Buy Drugs, Drug Errors, Drug Side - Effects)

Educate yourself about any condition you might have and the treatments from both the Western and holistic points of view. Use both to heal yourself. Like the golden mean, excess in anything is not good for you. Use generic as opposed to brand name drugs to save money. They're drugs whose patent has run out so now anybody can produce them. The original company keeps the right to its brand name so when the doctor writes out your prescription, ask him to write out the generic name of the drug, if applicable as opposed to the brand name which many do, probably because of habit or they get some form of favor from that company. Not all drugs are manufactured in a generic version. The major points of medical drug use are: Know the drug you're using. If it doesn't work, ask for another drug that does the same function. There are many different drugs that treat the same diseases. Follow the dosage instructions. Throw old drugs away.
