STOP WASTING PRESCRPTION DRUGS

Additional Information

HUGE AMOUNTS OF DRUGS ARE THROWN AWAY ANNUALLY THROUGH OVER-PRESCRIPTION, PARTICULARLY TO THE ELDERLY.

THEY MIGHT NOT WORK; THEY MIGHT NOT SUIT THE PATIENT; SYMPTOMS MIGHT CHANGE.

WHY NOT PRESCRIBE A "STARTER PACK" OF THE MINIMUM AMOUNT TO TEST FOR EFFICACY AND SUITABILITY AND THEN REPEAT, IF NECESSARY.

THIS WOULD SAVE MILLIONS OF POUNDS AS 88% ( IN 2010 ) OF PRESCRIPTIONS ARE DISPENSED FREE OF CHARGE TO PATIENTS IN ENGLAND
