Can you mix a prescription if it's the same kind? i have a bottle of iron that is almost empty and i have another bottle that is half way full can i mix the almost empty with the half way and if not why?

If : If a prescription is the exact same kind, with the same milligram, dosing instructions, and the expiration date is not near for either, then it should not cause any problems. If a patient has any questions then a pharmacist could review the bottles to be sure that they are the same type. If there is any difference in the name, the milligram strength, or if one bottle is expiring soon, then they should not be mixed.

Agree with Dr. E.: It is unlikely that there will be harm in mixing the two iron pills. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, and get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
