Do You Know Your Medication or Just the Colour of the Pack?
So many people identify their medicines only by the color of the pack โ red, orange, pink... and that's risky!
-What if the company changes the packaging?
-What if youโre color-blind? (It happens more often than you think โ especially with red and pink tones.)
-What if the product is discontinued?
-What if you accidentally buy the wrong one?? ๐ณ
Iโve heard so many myths about why people avoid learning the names of their medications:
1๏ธโฃ โItโs not my portion.โ
A woman once told me she didnโt want to know the name of her BP meds because she believed the condition was temporary โ after 2 years of daily use!
2๏ธโฃ โThe names are too big โ thatโs the pharmacistโs job.โ
But hereโs the truth: 90% of your health information is in YOUR hands.
We donโt yet have a central health information system in Nigeria. Thatโs why knowing your medication even just the name helps your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse treat you better and faster.
At Greenolive Pharmacy, weโre committed to providing premium care, and that starts with educating you patiently and kindly until you can confidently say the names of your medications.
Letโs drop the myths and take charge of our health.
