Mercy&Grace,Thank you for the good information. I just came across an article about the newly approved pain killer that will become inactive if cut, chewed or altered in anyway as it contains...
Pharma Rep, Mgr., Teacher, Executive and you name it for 32 yrs (same company), Hi everyone it's Jimmy. Don't want to create a long list here so I'll take a stab at making this as short as an...
Vicki,Thanks for understanding where I was coming from on that post about going to the pharmacy on the way back from the doctor's office in Philadelphia. I live in a rural area and there I was happy,...
