If a medication is being recalled, what should a patient do according to a pharmacy technician?

Discard and request a refill
Continue to use if effective
Contact the prescriber for change
Bring to pharmacy for checking

The correct answer is: Bring to pharmacy for checking

If a medication is being recalled, the best course of action for a patient is to bring the medication to their pharmacy for checking. This is because the pharmacy will have information about the specific recall and can provide guidance on next steps. Discarding the medication or continuing to use it without confirmation from a healthcare professional could potentially be harmful. Contacting the prescriber may also be necessary, but bringing the medication to the pharmacy first ensures that the patient has accurate information and can make an informed decision.
