Prescription Drugs and Over-the-Counter Medicationhttp://www.dailyesl.com/pharmacy.htm
I was feeling
under the weather yesterday, so I went to the doctor, and she
prescribed some medication for my illness. I took the prescription she wrote out, and I went to a local
pharmacy near my house. I gave the prescription to the pharmacist, and he said it would take a few minutes to fill it. In the meantime, I walked around the pharmacy to find some
over-the-counter medication for my
flu symptoms. After a while, the pharmacist called my name, explained how to
take the medication, and reviewed with me some of the
potential side effects. As it
turns out, I have to take two
capsules, twice a day, for one week for one of the medications, and I have to take one
pill after eating, once a day, for the other medication. The pharmacist said that the medication could make me
drowsy, so I shouldn't drive after taking it. He said that my problem should clear up within two weeks. However, when I told my grandmother about my visit to the doctor, she claimed that if I took her home
remedy for the problem---eating her secret onion and
garlic chicken soup---I wouldn't need to take all the other medicine.
