Medication mistakes

• If in doubt, ask. If you get home and are unsure about anything, call your doctor or pharmacist. And be on the lookout for any signs of a problem, i.e. your pills look different or you notice a different drug name or directions than what you thought.

Some websites such as ISMP Canada provide current medication safety alerts.
