I'd actually even have to check if I can add inactive ingredients to an allergy list. -- nm - Tim, forgotten Mets fan Jun 4, 18:47
inactive ingredients are rarely checked, especially since with the same drug they can differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. -- nm - Tim, forgotten Mets fan Jun 4, 18:42 3
- I see. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 4, 18:43
- the paperwork actually includes the manufacturer, though, so that's in the system (at least at walgreens). - b. Jun 4, 18:43 1
  - Yeah, it's listed on our bottles too but not the inactives :/ -- nm - Tim, forgotten Mets fan Jun 4, 18:45
yah, I think that's even worse than the clinic not catching it. this is strike two for them, at least, for it. maybe our resident pharmacy boy can - b. Jun 4, 18:41 8

  - thanks! - b. Jun 4, 18:50
- Maybe next time you can ask for them to save the package insert because it lists all the ingredients and what not. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 4, 18:43 5
  - oh, now I'll just always google. now that you mention it, though, they do sometimes give inserts or more detailed info., depending on the drug.-- nm - b. Jun 4, 18:47 4
    - I think most (all?) drugs have the inset and the insert is super detailed. Lists all ingredients, molecular formula, trials blah blah -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 4, 18:49 3
      - right, they all come with them at some point; but they're not always passed along to the consumer unless we're given - b. Jun 4, 18:54 2
        
        Ralph's give you huge print outs but I don't know if they list the ingredients. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 4, 18:58 1
        
        alas, we're ralph-less here. -- nm - b. Jun 4, 18:59
