Should i be taking these pills?!
Question: Should i be taking these pills.?
i went to the dermatologist for the very first time on thursday and he said to eat a healthy diet. i've already been doing that since i wanted to eat healthy which makes my skin healthy. however, it's not having any serious effect since i've been breaking out a lot too.
He "prescribed" some pills but it wasn't in those little containers that have my name on it, when to take it, side effects etc. He says to take 4 pills half an hour before i go to bed. He gave them to me in those small ziplock bags. those pills are huge!!! So two nights ago, i swallowed four pills and when i went to bed, my throat started to hurt. i can seriously feel where the pills were in my throat. well that part is obviously because food does not go straight down to your stomache right away but still, i don't know what the name of those pills are in the first place. what's it going to do to my other organs besides skin.? doesn't too many pills lead to liver damage.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:
Call your Dr or take them back and ask him what they are and what the side effects of them are. If you don't want to go back and ask your Dr take them to your pharmacist and explain that your Dr gave them to you as samples but never told you what they were or what the side effects of them were. IF you want to take them ask the pharmacist if you can cut them into smaller pieces so they will be easier to take. Tell the pharmacist you would like to know what you are taking and what side effects they have, tell the pharmacist you are afraid of taking them not knowing what they are. The pharmacist will probably ask the Dr's name who gave them to you just to make sure you got them from a Dr, s/he may also contact the Dr depending on what the pills are.Health Question & Answer
i think you should either go back to the doctor and find out what the pills are and what is the correct dosage or go to another doctor take the pills with you and show them to the doctor ask what they are and how many you should be taking.Something doesn't sound right though. Pills should always be dispensed in a container with your name on it not in a plastic bag. I'd be looking for a second opinion. Health Question & Answer
Alot of docs will give u samples from thier office. Ur throat probably hurts cuz the pills were huge, I would call the docs office and just ask, they have to tell you. Good luck Health Question & Answer
