The news published recently suggested that most of patients do not know what kind of drug they are taking. It is not only because the reading ability of some patients are not very well but also because the name of the drug. Most of the medicine are marked with their chemical names which is difficult for people to understand. One possible solution is for patients to physically bring their medicines to the doctor's office. In a word, doctors and patients should work together so that they can have a full understanding to each one.
