Notes de l'éditeur
Many people think “medications”, doctor prescribed, healthcare recommended, seen on tv and automatically think SAFE. But this is definitely not true. On a daily basis we, as pharmacists, call doctors to change medications they’ve prescribed due to drug interactions, drug allergies, etc. So, people need to know that not all medications are safe, EVEN when prescribed by their doctor. There are many contraindications to medications and each medication taken needs to be carefully reviewed by doctors and pharmacist. This also includes over-the-counter medications. For instance, ibuprofen, if some is taking an antidepressant or has a stomach ulcer, they should not take ibuprofen. There are many warnings on the boxes of OTC meds that people ignore. They’re there for a reason. The more education people have about medications and the more questions asked the better of you’re going to be. Don’t doctor shop or pharmacy shop b/c you’re increasing your risk of danger. As the title slide appears ask the group if they think that medications are safe….if they say yes ask why and if they say no ask why……..after this display the next portion of the slide and give specific examples of how medications can save lives and how they can also be very dangerous
