Each student is to visit a neighborhood pharmacy. Observe the number of preparations in the aisles of Cold and Allergy and Headache, Fever, and Pain.
Look over the available products. What is your reaction to the amount and variety of products? How do you think a consumer makes a decision about what to purchase? What information does a consumer need for a selection that is safe and beneficial?
Read the labels. Identify the generic and the trade names. What is the difference between drugs listed by brand name or generic name? Does drug naming have implications for safety, cost, effectiveness? Select a few products and read the ingredients. Begin comparing ingredients. What is the main ingredient for each of the types of medication: cold, allergy, headache, fever, and pain? Are their duplicates?
Read the instructions. What are the reading levels for the instructions? What are the measurements of dosage there are indicated? What are the implications for vulnerable populations; such as, children, pregnant women, older adults, or consumers with disabilities?
