Note:

Sorry, I have not received any information on how Clayton is doing. Nancy took the following notes at the last meeting. I don't have the name and addresses for the persons that receive hard copies in the mail from Clayton, so if you see other members, remind them of the meeting.

The speaker for the 7/15/2011 meeting was Katie Burenheide, MS, PharmD, BCPS.  Dr. Burenheide brought two senior pharmacy students with her.  She presented a very informative talk about our medications.    She reminds us we should always have a list of our medications:  the name, dosage, frequency and why we take them.  Not only our prescriptions but any over the counter medications, supplements or even herbal supplements.  We should always discuss any medications not prescribed by the Dr. with the Dr or a pharmacist to determine if there are any interactions.   Some foods interact with our medications also.   A member of our family should also have this list.  Always read the labels about ingredients in the meds because many medications have the same ingredients.

Carrie Lancaster won the President’s mentos,   Rowland Hyle the gold coins and Crystal, pharmacy student, won the 50/50. 

Hope to see even more there next week for Carol Bragdon, Cotton-O’Neil Heart Center.

Thanks

Nancy
