Got an ache, itch, pain, squint, blur, gas, burning, bite, or throb? Is he feeling 'fiesty? Take a pill! Is she feeling 'fiesty'? Hope you already took your pill! If you didn't there's a pill for that as well! We virtually live on pills in our society. I know, virtually was used gratuitously there but I don't care. We have pills today to stop headaches, prevent headaches, control blood pressure, control Diabetes, stop pregnancy, push pregnancy, control nausea during pregnancy, stop toothaches, weight loss pills, fluid control pills, pill control pills, the list is endless. Thank goodness we have the pills! Our ancestors didn't have the luxury of having pills to help their lives, stop their illnesses, and to even live longer than they did. Do we take too many pills? Sometimes I think we do. Will they hurt us? Sometimes they can, especially when people feel they can 'doctor' themselves with over the counter medications. That can be a fatal mistake. It seems the one thing people, some people, fail to do is follow the directions on the label and read what interactions these products may have with other more important meds being taken. For instance, my blood pressure pill becomes ineffective if I take any one of several herbal medications or supplements. How do I know this? I asked my pharmacist and I researched the data the manufacturers provided on their labels and websites. If you can't find all this useful information anywhere it's because you're not looking for it!
