What are the possible side effects of my prescribed medicines?
Ask your doctor or pharmacist any questions about the drugs prescribed for you. You can also consult the Physician’s Desk Reference, which is widely available at local libraries. It describes drugs, how they work and interact, and their possible side effects. In addition, you can access MEDLINEplus for a guide to more than 9,000 prescription and over-the-counter medications provided by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).
