The misuse of prescription medicine is a growing problem. This program outlines six commonsense questions every patient should ask when given a prescription, like what activities should be avoided, and possible side effects. It also explains the importance of communication between patient, physician, and pharmacist to avoid potential problems. Saving medication, borrowing it from friends, and failing to take medication as prescribed are discussed as potential pitfalls. (27 minutes)
