Examples: Take as needed for anxiety, pain, etc. I've never seen a difference with post surgical prescriptions in CA or TX other than the type and quantity.

- astura 9y agoJust no... No... I believe that short term prn medicine may contain some language like that. For anyone else, The VAST majority of prescription medication does not contain such language. Post surgical medication are like this: "take once a day" not something like "take this antiepileptic drug once a day to prevent seizures after brain surgery." Which is the actual purpose of the medication. I talk from experience. Any type of ongoing maintenance drug is going to omit any sort of symptoms, assuming any are present in the first place. Again, experience. Sure, this may be your experience with filling 5 or less prn prescriptions but this isn't how the majority of scripts work. Even if the pharmacist had your FULL medical history it seems very unusual they'd be able to catch this sort of error.
