You should know that there are common mistakes happening when people pick up over-the-counter medicines.
Patients at times may not read the labels or know what the active ingredients are in each medication.
That Statson Patricus, an Aspirus Pharmacy resident,
He said that sometimes people are taking two different products with the same ingredients in them,
which doubles the dose and may increase side effects.
It is best to talk to your doctor when say if you have a cough, if you've been trying to treat it over-the-counter,
and it's been about a week, and then the cough gets worse, let your provider know.
He says read the label and make sure it's not a combination product.

Mark Kett with the win over Providence.
Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with sports, men's college basketball.
The Mark Kett Golden Eagles with a 70-58 win at Providence.
Over the friars, Mark Kett head coach, Shock of Smart.
You know, we've had a hard time here at the amp since I've been at Mark Kett.
Providence has had a ton to do with that, but the crowd has been tough to overcome over 40 minutes.
And the way the game started with Providence making, I think the first four shots,
scoring 10 points in the blink of an eye was not ideal.
NBA, the Bucks beat the Pacers in Indianapolis, 120 to 112.
Doc Rivers says it took his team a while to get going.
AJ Green didn't make a shot in the first, and he makes a couple of T.P.
Mrs. White Open shots, and he makes a couple.
And it just goes to show you great shooters never lose confidence.
They keep believing.
We keep believing in them.
That's all we talked about at halftime.
It's all the shots.
I ain't gonna say T.P. you and get the same shot.
You're gonna make them AJ.
But we got to make sure they get shots.
And if we do that, we're good.
That's the Bucks Doc Rivers, with sports on Mike Clemens.

People seem to notice the variety of well-reviewed films playing at the box office currently,
and headed to the big screen over the weekend.
Sonic the Hedgehog Part 3 took the top spot at the gate with $38 million,
and is currently at $137 million in its first two weeks in theaters.
The Lion King's Mufasa took a close second place with $37 million in change in its second week,
and is showing some good word of mouth as it is actually outperforming its haul from last week.
People also wanted a little whore over their holiday as newcomer Nosferatu,
which opened on Christmas Day, surprised prognosticators by pulling in $40 million over five days
and $21 million over the weekend.
Wicked in Moana 2 rounded out the top five with Wicked pulling in $19.5 million,
and Moana 2 pulling in just over $18 million.
Also opening on Christmas Day was the new Bob Dylan biopic,
a complete unknown which pulled in $23 million over five days
and finished in sixth place last weekend with $11.6 million.
All I wanted was to hold on and live.
Those are the words of Gail Gadot, who recently gave birth to her fourth daughter.
The drama surrounding the birth was right out of a movie script as the actress revealed
that during the eighth month of her pregnancy, an MRI showed a massive blood clot in her brain.
Gadot was rushed into surgery and during the operation gave birth to her daughter Ori.
The 39-year-old actress says the name means My Light,
and that it was appropriate as Hanukkah is a celebration of light and miracles.
Golden Globes host Nikki Glazer might have a furrowed brow through this year's broadcast.
You can chalk that up to bad timing, as the comedian was planning on getting plastic surgery
but had to reschedule once she got the gig.
Glazer says she was planning on getting a brow lift,
but her agent advised her to wait until after the Golden Globes.
Translation?
Instead of looking surprised when she reads the nominees, she'll look grumpy.
The Golden Globes airs Sunday January 5th on CBS.
Former President Jimmy Carter passed away this past weekend at the age of 100.
Many remember Carter for his decency, endless service to humankind,
which included his involvement with Habitat for Humanity.
But what most people don't know is that he was also related to Motown Records founder Barry Gordy.
Gordy said that in 1978 his sister Esther did some digging into their family tree.
Gordy says he was filled with shock and pride when he found out that he and Carter were actually third cousins.
There's as much drama off-screen surrounding actress Blake Lively and actor director Justin Baldone
as there was on-screen for their film It Ends With Us.
Following Lively's lawsuit, claiming Baldone sexually assaulted her and launched a smear campaign against her,
Baldone is filing a counter-suit, claiming Lively and her team launched a smear campaign against him.
Does anything good ever come from a Hollywood smear campaign?
Oh yeah, publicity.
