Husband received two "different" prescription medicines in same bottle......

I have never heard of anything like that happening! If someone wasn't as careful as your husband that pharmacy could have had a law suit on its hands. Or worse a fatal accident. I would let others you know who use that pharmacy know to be extra careful or find a new place.

You know, we never check Matt's Diabetic and cholesterol prescriptions when it's refilled. He gets them every three months and then the occasional refill for pain killers if needed for his gout. Hmmm I wonder why they put both prescriptions in the same bottle? Is this normal practice? I thought for every different pill ordered, it would come in it's own bottle. I would definitely be checking from here on in. Thanks Terry.

Wow that is terrible and it could end up killing someone I think you need to talk to them and tell them they need to take more care as one Day they will end up doing bad Damage to someone

That is terrible. I am glad that you all noticed it. That would be horrible if that continues to happen and people take those meds and get real sick or die from it.

Don't like the sound of that

That is so scary and not entirely unheard of. It's good that first, he pays attention to his medication. So many of us just take what is given to us, assuming that it's the right stuff. We should all be a little more observant when it come to taking medication. Second, it's lucky the pills were different enough that it was an easily caught his eye. There are so many pills of similar shape and size. As he was able to do by looking online to discover what pills he had received, it's important to know that pills have certain markings on them, with their different colors and shapes that help to identify and differentiate them. I would recommend that if you take medication on a regular basis to become familiar with the markings. If you see something different and your pharmacist didn't alert you, I would contact the pharmacy right away.

That's a bit scary! It's a good thing you have such a good eagle eye PPP! I think I would be pretty upset with those fools for doing that.

That can be very dangerous. I am glad that your husband pays close attention and was not harmed by the mix up. They need to do what it takes to make sure that this never happens to anyone again.

don't like the sound of that, good thing you looked. Nothing like that as happened to me
