Patient: Thank you. Doctor, I decided to make an appointment because yesterday I had a splitting headache and rash all over my body after taking pills for stomach pain.
Doctor: Did I write out a prescription for taking the pills?
Patient: Yes, here it is.
Doctor: These pills are very strong. They can trigger such symptoms as dizziness, nausea and even rash. Let me check you. I’ll measure your blood pressure but firstly put a thermometer into your armpit.
Doctor: Your temperature is in the normal range but your blood pressure is very low. Did you read the medicine label before taking those pills?
Patient: No, I thought your prescription and recommendations were enough to take them correctly.
Doctor: What dose did you take at once?
Patient: I took two pills.
Doctor: So everything should have been all right then. You told me you had no allergies. What’s wrong then?
Patient: Just a few days ago I was sneezing all day long but I went on taking the pills.
Doctor: As far as these pills are concerned, they mustn’t be taken if you have any allergies. So taking them caused terrible side effects.
