004 – A Tough Pill To Swallow

004 – A Tough Pill To Swallow

If you're in the Sandwich Generation, more likely than not, your parents are on medicines. Maybe just one prescription, if you're lucky, or maybe enough to fill up an entire closet. Either way, prescriptions are a serious topic and we need to be advocates for our parents. The more we know about how to handle their meds, the more we can protect our parents. In this episode, Janice – a pharmacist for over 30 years, talks about:

-Refills: When to refill, how to refill.

-Generics: Who orders them.

-Pill containers: Best ways to organize and a little known fact about something pharmacies will do for their customers.

-Formulary changes: When you're denied, what do you do?

-Medicine lists: How to organize, what to do with a list and why a paper list might be better than a digital one. Take a look at the list I kept for my dad that saved me from going crazy!

And much, much more.
