This is not a test. Unless it is, and no one told me so I haven't revised, which means I'm going to fail. Thanks for that. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom)

When you go to the pharmacist...
... do they look at your prescription and try to guess what you’re taking it for? Or do they just know?

It depends on the medication. If it is amoxil (an anitbiotic) we know it is for an infection. We don't know specifically what type of infection. If it is a certain combination of drugs ie. doxycycline and flagyl we pretty much know it's for an STD.
I like starting new projects, my two guinea pigs, second hand clothes, planning holidays and having a savings account.
I am currently:
* editor of Subtext magazine.
* doing up my camper van
* wearing flip flops. A lot.
* crossing all my fingers & toes.
* loving my mermaid hair (sea water & a gently breeze = perfect curly locks).

My pharmacist has always looked at me funny since I took a year old pack of contraceptive pills to him to ask if they were still OK to take.
They of course were, but I was 15 and I had read something that said they didn't work after the bbf date.
I think if the medicine is common enough, they know. E.g. if you pick up lithium, they have a pretty good idea that you are bipolar.
