Really ticked off at Walgreens

I mainly use Medco by Mail, but for lesser quantities I can use Walgreens, CVS, etc. Medco has a full reference for each medicine it carries, and that includes a picture of the pill and the name of all the known manufacturers. That's in addition to all the patient information, interactions, etc. It is very helpful, especially if what you get is generic and you don't remember what it *really* is. The older I get, the more that happens.

scary part of this is, how can you be sure you got the right scrip in the right dosage? mostly I get things I've never taken before. sometimes doc tells me what it will look like, but generics could look like anything.

I go to CVS but no matter where I get somethign filled, will from now on check my pills to see if what they say "looks right" and if it doesn't, ask about it. take whatever answer, and try to look up the pill I got online.

frightening stuff.
