What Everyone Needs To Know About Prescription Medications

My name is Lou Ann Turner and you're reading my health and medical blog about prescription medications. Physicians prescribe various medications for all types of illnesses and it's very important that these medications are taken as prescribed.

My pharmacist gave me a lot of information about taking prescription medicines and I wanted to share this information with other people.
