Know What You Are Taking

Although we depend on "experts" for advice, the responsibility to make a good decision will ultimately fall on us. This includes making decisions regarding your health. When you decide to follow the advice of your doctor or other medical professionals, you should still make sure you have made the right decision by asking enough questions.

Unfortunately, there are just too many medications on the market that do indeed have the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval but are turning out to cause serious health problems in consumers who take them. Not only are consumers experiencing some rather painful side effects, but the result of taking the wrong dosage of a drug, mixing it with other drugs, or taking a drug altogether can be fatal. So be smart and be educated about the drug you are taking. Go to the FDA Web site just to make sure there are no issues including a recall with the drug you will take.

Also, make sure you understand what the drug is going to treat. Make sure your doctor is specific. Do not accept that the drug with just help with pain. What pain? Where? For how long? Ask enough questions until you are satisfied. Stick to using the drug for only what it is being prescribed for and not what you think the drug can be used to treat. This is what is referred to "off-label usages." Consumers make take a drug and find another health issue that is getting better because of the same drug. The FDA discourages any drugs to be used for "off-label" reasons. There have been too many occurrences of consumers experiencing bad side effects for taking a drug for an off-label use.

A recent example is with Zyprexa. Zyprexa is a drug that is used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. Consumers have found other reasons to take Zyprexa and now, they are suffering very serious health issues. The FDA is investigating the link between Zyprexa and consumers who have developed diabetes.
