Physicians usually prescribe enough pills to last for the expected duration of an illness. The word "repeat” on a prescription indicates to the pharmacist that the same prescription may be refilled if the patient requires an additional quantity. Your doctor discriminately prescribes specific medications for specific illnesses. The same medicines may be of no value In treating other medical conditions, even with similar symptoms. TO avoid confusion, it is best to throw away small quantities of left-over piUs or capsules as soon as an illness is over. Read the label carefully before taking any medicine. More and more physicians are instructing pharmacists to "please label contents and dosage” on every bottle. This helps to prevent the patient from getting mixed up by the colors, sizes and shapes of pills. As a further precaution. It is suggested that patients make their own notes of the purpose of certain pills and the specific condition for which they are prescribed. There are certain pain killers, anti-allergy drugs, and many antibiotics which have a long "shelf life” and may be safely stored for use at a later date, but only with the approval of your physician.
