DOUBLE CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR: YOU MAY NOT NEED ALL THE MEDICINES YOU ARE TAKING!
As we all know Americans take more prescription drugs download lilo stitch 2 stitch has a glitch dvd
than many other countries combined. WHY? One reason is that the drug companies have huge marketing budgets to advertise on TV and to give expensive trips and gifts to Doctors to prescribe the many different medications on the market. Just last night on the news, it was reported that a study of Zetia and Vytorin concluded that it does nothing to prevent the build up of cholesterol and plaque in your heart to prevent heart associated illness. So, how can we as consumers educate ourselves so that we DON’T TAKE MEDICATIONS THAT WE DON’T EVEN NEED?
That is the million dollar question!
Several states, including Pennsylvania and South Carolina, have hired their own representatives to call on doctors and discuss older drugs and generics. The idea is to counter the pitches and gift giving of the drug industry sales reps who are promoting their company’s latest, most expensive drugs. This could restore a sense of “medical ethics”.
No one would deny that new drugs have saved lives, however, new medications are much more expensive when you could be taking tried and true older drugs that would do the same thing for less money to the consumer. One such example is a drug for bone strength called Boniva. The big selling point is that you only have to take it once a month. The older medication that is less expensive is called Fosamax, which is taken once a week. I can imagine with all the other pills people take, this shouldn’t be much of a selling point, but that just goes to show how these drug companies can take NOTHING and sell it to you for more than you need to pay. It has also been shown that Fosamax has other values to your health that Boniva does not have. But as always, YOU MUST CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR TO SEE WHICH DRUG IS RIGHT FOR YOU!
Don’t be shy to explain to your doctor that you NEED to take drugs that are less expensive. Ask if there are older drugs that could help you, instead of the new designer drugs being promoted so heavily.
Each day more than 101,000 drug reps – one for every 5 office based physicians call on the nations doctors. Primary care physicians have about 28 interactions a week with drug sales people! Isn’t that amazing!
Remember that YOU ARE THE BOSS OF YOU! Make sure that you tell your doctor EVERY drug you are taking wild hogs dvd , even if you got that prescription from another physician. Every doctor you see needs to know EVERY drug you take. This will prevent over prescribing and make sure all your drugs interact to best help you live life to its fullest. That is the main goal with medication, to help you maintain your health and enjoy living!
