Reply to comment by SwankyPants10 in Study finds patient-friendly prescription labels improve medication adherence: More than 100,000 people die each year from not taking medications as prescribed by universityofga

I'm just saying what my experience is. It's never been the same. I have been on four different medications, never has the label matched the doctors spoken recommendation. This is across two different states in the US. Makes no sense.

I understand that dosages vary for a lot of reasons for medications, but it makes no sense why the label would ever differ from what the doctor prescribed, and yet for me it always does.

Let the pharmacist know when you pick it up. They will call the doctor and clarify.
