Making a Choice

Before you make a decision about taking any medicine - prescription, over-the-counter (nonprescription medicaments), or herbal or homeopathic you should be as knowledgeable as possible - your life may depend upon it. This site is not a substitute for medical advice from a professional. Its aim is to help you gather information about medications so that you can ask the right questions of your physician and pharmacist about an (Rx) medicine, or consider the pros and cons of an (OTC) or (H) medication urged upon you by an advertisement, well-meaning friend, or clerk. As you refer to the information contained in this site, you should become more aware of the potential benefits and side effects of all chemicals you ingest, inhale, inject, or place on your body.
