Pharmacists advise caution on prescription use

PHARMACISTS SHARE a
deep concern about ac-
cidental or intentional abuse
of prescription and non-
prescription drugs.

People often become addicted
to otherwise health-giving medica-
tions. These tragedies can be
prevented by following a few sim-
ple rules.

Use medications only as
directed by your doctor, nurse or
pharmacist. Monitor the rate they
are used even if they seem rela-
tively harmless. Dispose of all
outdated medications promptly.
