Health literacy

Your Medications, Explained

Generic equals brand at a tenth the price, the sig is chemistry not etiquette, one pharmacy runs the safety net — and the annual review that prunes the list.

What you'll walk away with

Label literacy: two names, one molecule; strength and form; the sig; refill countdowns — and the pharmacist as the system's free expert.
The generic fact (regulated bioequivalence at 80-90% less), formulary tiers, cash-price checks, and the cost-honesty rule.
Taking it right: why spacing is the treatment, missed-dose rules learned in advance, and adherence as habit engineering.
Interactions and side effects: the full list everywhere, the one-pharmacy safety net, grapefruit-class warnings, the ride-out/call/act-now sorting table, never quiet-quitting — and the annual brown-bag review.
