As your college student heads back to school remind them, medications are prescribed for a reason! Taking someone elseโ€™s meds can be seriously dangerous. Hereโ€™s why:
๐Ÿ”ดWrong dosage: What works for them might not work or be safe for you.
๐Ÿ”ดBad interactions: Mixing meds can lead to unexpected & harmful side effects.
๐Ÿ”ดUnderlying conditions: You might have a health issue they donโ€™t, making their meds risky for you.
๐Ÿ”ดThe only safe meds are ones you get from licensed pharmacies. Taking meds from other sources puts you at risk.

๐Ÿ“ฒ If you have questions about medication safety, call the Poison Help line at 1 (800) 222-1222 for confidential, free, expert advice.
