You will also learn about any special precautions you should take, and a description of what the medicine is intended to do. Prescription medicines have the date they were written by the doctor and the name of the pa- tient for whom the medicine was ordered, ,such information helps you determine when a medicine should be discarded because of age, and reminds you that it should not be used for any other member of the family.
