Hi all my rock leader gave me this.. i bought it and its great.. It is called "A Guide through the Medicine Cabinet.. It lists most drugs-- the woman who compiled and wrote this book her husband was a pharmacist - the last update was 2006 and alot of the drug co's are starting not to give her help anymore-- but it is still great.. it lists everything brand generic and even some store brands in it, and then in the back is a directory of ALL drug companies and phone numbers.. it cost me $45.. and next year only the directory will be coming out of course at a lesser cost.. if anybody wants the info let me know and i will post it.. I don't want to get into trouble (again) for posting .. i did when i first started here.. now i dont have to freak out everytime i have to take my daughter to the dr and i can take the book with me and make a simple call b4 i leave the dr's office..

That's great! The contact numbers will be of benefit because formulations change sometimes, it is nice to have abook to open up when drugs are prescribed.

Perhaps if your really, really bored and have lots of time on your hands you could create a blog on the front page and list those numbers.

This was a great idea on your part but use caution when you bring it to the doctors with you, unless you really trust your doctors. There have been parents of celiac children whose doctors have thought that the parent was purposely making the child sick. This can really be a problem with kids who do not show up celiac under conventional tests. I may be a bit paranoid but trying to find out what was wrong with my DS when he was a baby almost got him taken away from me. He was finally diagnosed at 19 after years of misery. I wouldn't want them to think the same of you and I would check the scripts at home.

No worries here. Have know my peds. Dr. for more than 30 years. he did think something of the sort when my kate was young, because i would bring her in and he'd give her something and she wouldnt get better, get worse, bring her back, get worse bring her back etc, then finally something would show up that could be treated with meds.. then we started with the specialists and he never questioned anything again.. but he had not seen me since i was 17, and he was not her orig. dr either.. he old dr's never forwarded her records in completion..

Also, i brought the book to my pharmacist, and he said "This is wonderful" it will go a long way in helping to make sure the meds are ok. He had a similar book made for pharma's but a whole lot bigger, and I HATE THIS PART-- he is the mgr of my pharma. and his boss came in from HQ when he was on vacation and thought HIS MEDS/MANUF. book looked like a mess and threw it ouT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE WAS SO MAD-- HE WAS HELPING TO CREATE A SAFE LIST FOR ME AND MY PEDS, AND FOR I.C.E...

NO, BECAUSE, WHEN THE PEDS PRESCRIBES I OR HE CAN CALL THE PHARMA, SEE WHAT GENERIC THEY HAVE AND CALL THE CO RIGHT THERE AND THEN IF WE NEED TO DOUBLE CHECK.. NO SENSE IN WASTING TIME.. ... THEY BOTH AGREED.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP THOUGH..

I would not even begin to know which drug manufacturers to list.. there are page upon pages..

if you want any specific, email me and i will look them up for you.

BTW, the same woman, also makes a DIRECTORY-- it is just a list of all the manufacturers and their phone numbers.
