A member asked:

Can you tell me is it okay to go against your doctors medication advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ed Friedlander answered

Better idea: No physician knows everything or is guaranteed 100% error-free. If compliance seems wrong to you, ask for a second opinion or share your concerns with your prescriber.
