8. A patient has been taking fluoxetine (Prozac) for several years, but
when picking up the prescription this month found that the tablets looked

if available to cut down the cost of medications.

nurse include?: c. Many of these drugs were once prescription drugs but are now

d. Reading the label of these drugs is very important; the name of the active
ingredient is prominent; you should always check the ingredient name.
e. It is important to read the label and to see what the recommended dose of
the drug is; some of these drugs can cause serious problems if too much of the
drug is taken.
f. It is important to report the use of any OTC drug to your healthcare provider
because many of them can interact with drugs that might be prescribed for you.

form, and DAW will be on your prescription form.
