With the personal medication card, you have ready
access to the name and strength of your medications and
why they are prescribed.
Many patients arrive at
the emergency room or physician office not knowing the
names of their medications. One physician may be
treating a heart condition and another physician orders
the same medication under another trade name to treat
the same condition. Since the two medications have
different names, both medications taken together can be
life threatening. If both medications were filled at the
same pharmacy, the duplication may have been detected. |
|
Many
patients visit multiple pharmacies as well as multiple
physicians. Medications taken incorrectly can result in
a serious (and costly) condition.
Complications
have also resulted from patients taking the wrong
medication.
That "little white tablet" that
Mrs. Jones was taking for diarrhea was actually her
heart tablet. (could be a fatal mistake)
For a limited time you can enter your own information
and print your own medication ID card similar
to this one.
