So Nancy, how was your visit to the doctor yesterday?
It went well. The doctor gave me a prescription for my sore throat and now I feel great!
Oh? I am very happy for you! What kind of medication did she give you?
It’s a cough syrup. I tried some of those under the counter medications, but they didn’t work. The only problem with this medication is that there are side effects.
![Page 7: Reading prescription labels 1](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032422/55a9d9bc1a28ab4e3c8b45d6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Tom:
Side effects? What kind?
Well, it made me feel drowsy, and if I took it on empty stomach , I felt nauseous.
Well, that’s too bad, but as long as you took precautions.
Exactly. I made sure I didn’t drive the day I took the medication and I always took it with food.
Good for you Nancy. It always good to read the directions on the label
