Do You Know Your Medication or Just the Colour of the Pack?
So many people identify their medicines only by the color of the pack — red, orange, pink... and that's risky!
-What if the company changes the packaging?
-What if you’re color-blind? (It happens more often than you think — especially with red and pink tones.)
-What if the product is discontinued?
-What if you accidentally buy the wrong one?? 😳
I’ve heard so many myths about why people avoid learning the names of their medications:
1️⃣ “It’s not my portion.”
A woman once told me she didn’t want to know the name of her BP meds because she believed the condition was temporary — after 2 years of daily use!
2️⃣ “The names are too big — that’s the pharmacist’s job.”
But here’s the truth: 90% of your health information is in YOUR hands.
We don’t yet have a central health information system in Nigeria. That’s why knowing your medication even just the name helps your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse treat you better and faster.
At Greenolive Pharmacy, we’re committed to providing premium care, and that starts with educating you patiently and kindly until you can confidently say the names of your medications.
Let’s drop the myths and take charge of our health.
