BS numbers and Meds question on Metformin

I am on metformin and every time I have to renew I always get the same pills and the exact size. I deal with a small town pharmacy also. I have been dealing with this pharmacy for over 25 years and have never had any problems with him. I get about 8 different medications per month and the only time i have any trouble is when he does not have the medication in stock but he will get the next day.

On Metformin, my pharmacy changed fairly frequently. Sometimes the pills were a different shape. I go to a small pharmacy in a country town, and the pharmacist would happily show me the bottle the stuff came in if I asked. I would expect any pharmacist to be cooperative, or it is time to find a different pharmacy.

I agree. I would feel the same way about a doctor or hospital who refused to show me my own medical records. All of us are entitled to ethical treatment, and that includes full disclosure about all procedures, medications, medical notes, and recommendations about our own treatment. There was a time, decades ago, when patients were treated like children in many cases, but those days should be long over by now.
