- A Resource About Medication Use and Misuse
-

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The volume of questions concerning medications which you send to me convinces
- me that there is a real need for more information about the use, and misuse of
- prescription medicines. Along comes a wonderful publication from the
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association (PMA), not a moment too soon, that
- discusses these subjects in depth. The 16 page booklet, called "Consumers
- Guide to Prescription Medicines" is filled with important information and some
- special features. There are special sections that focus on teaching children
- about proper use of medicines and specific advice for older adults. The
- booklet gives tips on what you should ask, and tell, your doctor, and how to
- deal with drug allergies and spot drug quackery. There is even a record
- keeping system for personal medical information which can be of great help in
- discussing your medicines with your doctor, as well as keeping your current
- medication list up to date in your own mind.
- For a free copy, write to "Consumers Guide to Prescription Medicines",
- PMA, 1100 15th St. NW, Washington, DC 20005. This booklet can provide you with
- a new and important insight on the proper use of your medications and help you
- to get their full benefit.
