Women should use pain medication only as directed and talk with their doctor about all drugs they're taking, including over-the-counter medications. Store prescription drugs in a secure place and properly dispose of them as soon as treatment is over. And never share prescription drugs with anyone else.
I've been a regular customer at CVS Pharmacy, the country's second-largest drugstore chain, for 20 years. I've spent a small fortune there over that span, visiting several times a week to pick up everything from milk to toothpaste to prescriptions.
Prescription drugs can be even worse than illegal drugs. The only difference is the legality.
Medicine, you have to take it. A vitamin is nice to have, but honestly, you can skip it.
I don't have a medicine cabinet.
My favorite place to shop is: any Duane Reade.
I don't take any of the medications I took when I was younger: antibiotics, antacids, aspirin, asthma inhalers, ulcer medication, allergy shots.
My kids both had acne, and I never saw a book dealing with the subject.
Long-term effects of taking painkillers and anti-inflammatories are never really good. To find another form of relief has been great.
