Last weekend, I followed my MIL to the clinic for a regular check up. It surprised me to see so many people in the clinic on a Saturday and most of them are waiting in line for their prescription. Sometimes I wonder how do these older folks afford these expensive medicines. I know the cost of these medications since my MIL spends a substantial amount on hers every month. Perhaps, the introduction of patient assistance programs may be of help to people who are on regular and long term medication. This may help ease their burdens.
Though I’m a strong believer of alternative treatments and natural therapies, there are situations where prescribed medications are necessary for certain health conditions. Always find out what you have been prescribed and be an informed patient. That way, you may avoid over consuming medications which you don’t even need at all.
