Here in the USA it is even scarier. Meds being used off label for everything and if one doesn't work don't change add something else then something else til you're taking so many meds you don't even know where side effects could be coming from. And a lot of so called accidents happen when pts fill precriptions at more than one pharmacy. There is not a pharmacist to make sure all the meds are safe to take together. And somethimes the reason is people price shop cause the meds cost less at one store then then other store. I think it's smart to not prescribe a lot of meds to take together. So does that mean a pt in the UK is not as sick as a pt in the USA? I don't know do you? Love Phillipa
