Itchy eyes, runny nose and sneezing aplenty \u2013 do these symptoms sound familiar to you? Allergy season is here, and people are suffering! The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America<\/a> recently issued<\/a> the nation’s new top 100 “spring allergy” capitals, and Washington, DC, where NCL is based, is ranked 51st.<\/p>\n

One of our colleagues recently hit a snag at the pharmacy when she requested a refill of her allergy prescription in advance of a business trip<\/a>. Upon returning home, and running out of her meds, our staffer realized that the refilled pills were a different color and size \u2013 she had received the wrong drugs! The pharmacist was extremely apologetic, and issued the correct pills on the spot. Fortunately, since our colleague hadn’t taken any of the wrong pills, or had to suffer without them, all ended well.<\/p>\n

This is a lesson for us all though: whenever taking drugs of any kind, prescribed, behind-the-counter, or over-the-counter, we need to pay attention! If something seems off to you\u2014with the drugs themselves, if you notice any new side effects, or if you have any questions\u2014talk to your doctor or pharmacist!<\/p>\n

\nHave you experienced any hiccups at the pharmacy? Are you a fellow allergy sufferer? Feel free share your story here!<\/p>\n
