Sort of a crappy subject, but......

That's great info I didn't know about the so-called "ghost pills" from time release meds ….thank you for informing us on it.

I always look, to gather any health info, and especially if one sees black or blood, then it is warning and definite time for a doctor visit.

I once had an infection in my ear and my ENT prescribed an antibiotic. Not only did I get bowel cramps but my stool was totally black. He prescribed another one and everything went back to normal.
 

Good info-thanks all
It is a heck of a note when you get info from this site and internet regarding your health. Information that your physician should have clarified!

Good physicians are obtained by asking your pharmacist, nurses, physical therapist-people that have information about physicians, due to their regular
contact with them.

Pharmacist are the best source; however, you may find them reluctant to
give you more than a phrase: Your questions place them in an ambiguous
situation. They do not like to part with information, don't know why that is
assume it is part of the 'professional silence.'

When seeking a physician I've taken a list of two physicians, ask pharmacist-
"Which doc would you go see.'
Then repeat with another pharmacist with two different physicians on list.

Always ask your pharmacist about any meds you take and take the time to read the info with your script. I am blessed to have a pharm in the family but she tells me to always call her if any doctor wants to give me a new med. They stay up to date on their CE requirements to keep their license. My doctor usually tells me what to avoid with my meds but I double check with her as doctors really don't get a lot of training about meds in medical school.
