Pharmacy might switch your meds

At the meeting last weekend we heard from Dr. Lever about generic medications. Today on MSNBC I found an article that addressed that very topic. Interesting and scary!

I read the article in the June issue of Self Magazine that Dr. Lever referred to at the meeting. It is all about how the FDA under the previous administration basically stopped its policing of generic drugs thus allowing the generics sold in the US to be defective and even dangerous to the general public.

Here is a link to the article if you are interested in reading it.

Thanks Cynthia!

Both good articles. Save a buck, use generics, hope no side-effects.
