Helpful Drug Tip Try to use only one pharmacy to fill your prescriptions. This practice keeps all your medicine records in one place, which helps reduce the chance that you will be given drugs that could interact with those you are already taking. In an emergency, however, be aware that many pharmacies are now open 24 hours. If there is an all-night pharmacy in your area, keep its number at hand in case you have any problems when your regular pharmacy is closed.
