Current trends in prescriptions include the elimination of handwritten presciptions in favor of what are being called "e-prescribing".   To create efficiency as well as reduce errors, current technology allows your physician to create and send prescriptions directly to your pharmacy via a private, secure network.

Some simple things to remember about drugs and other products used to maintain your health:

• Keep an updated list of all medicines, herbal supplements, vitamins and over-the-counter products you take.  You can use the form we provide as part of "Personal medical information and history".
• Tell your physician and pharmacist about any drug allergies you have.
• Ask your pharmacist about side effects and what foods or activities to avoid (if any), concerning your prescribed medications.
• Read and follow the safety instructions and warnings on the label of your prescriptions.
• Never share prescription medications.
• Do not take expired medications, reduce your dose, split pills to save money, or increase your dose to make up for missed doses.
