I do have to agree with Anonymous though about generic meds - pharmacies do sometimes switch without warning and the results can be not good.Michelle Morgan-Coolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03671529553739362752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-32805416494973028532012-01-10T13:47:20.294-05:002012-01-10T13:47:20.294-05:00Anonymous, I worry about that same thing myself......Anonymous, I worry about that same thing myself....Ashley's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621835327282616218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-69886030909698191152012-01-10T13:28:37.972-05:002012-01-10T13:28:37.972-05:00You're in VA...

However, I recently noticed that one of his pills was markedly different (colour, size, shape). Researching, I discovered that, while it was the "correct" medication, the pharmacist had switched to a supplier in India - a company under investigation for quality issues. Concerned, I asked the nursing supervisor for the Agency if anyone ever did a visual check on meds... and was told that was the pharmacist's job. Not true, per the NY State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities. My point: any Agency will respond defensively, and engage in CYA behaviour, when there's a problem with medication. My other point: be very careful with generics, the source can be a problem, and there can be unintended side-effects.<br />BTW: my son's home is very good - but I worry what will happen when there's no mad-dog mom keeping an eye on operations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-40045096531223218532012-01-09T19:40:25.733-05:002012-01-09T19:40:25.733-05:00oh my GOD. that is unacceptable.
