"Patients with complex illnesses ill-nesses and their physicians often of-ten must experience a learning curve before the best medication in the best dosage is achieved," advises rheumatologist Halsted Holman, MD, professor of medicine medi-cine and co-chief of Stanford University's Division of Family and Community Medicine. But beyond finding the best drug, Holman notes that patients pa-tients can sometimes wind up with a medication that wasn't intended for the, raising the possibility pos-sibility of a potentially dangerous danger-ous drug error. "Physicians, pharmacists, patients pa-tients or even manufacturers can occasionally make a mistake that could have important implications im-plications for people. That's why it's important for patients, their doctors and pharmacists to follow fol-low a few steps to minimize the possibility that a drug error will cause problems," says Holman, who offers these guidelines to patients: Ask your doctor when he or she writes a new prescription to Prostate cancer can occur Middle-aged men need to develop de-velop a few strategies to "get along gracefully with their ag-- ag-- ing prostate" as well as protect against the dangers of prostate cancer, says Stanford Medical Center urology professor Rodney Anderson, MD. "As we get older the prostate (a walnut-sized structure in the pelvis, which produces seminal fluid) is prone to enlarge, and since it is in a sensitive area, this change can product some unpleasant un-pleasant symptoms, including pressure on the bladder," says Anderson. The pressure often causes such symptoms as more frequent urination, a slower stream and an annoying sudden onset of an urgent need to void. About 20 million U.S. men, mostly over the age of 50, suffer at least some discomfort from an enlarged prostate, says Anderson. Ander-son. While these conditions are annoying - and can often interfere inter-fere with work or social activities activi-ties - the most dangerous condition condi-tion - prostate cancer - often occurs oc-curs with no symptoms at all. "That's why it's important for older men to have annual prostate pros-tate exams, including a blood test called PSA (prostate-specific antigen) by their physicians. Men with prostate cancer tend to have increasing levels of PSA over time, so several tests over several years are necessary to screen for this generally slowly HANSEN'S PLANTS "AMAZING CORN MAZE" Monday-Thursday 10:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. Friday & Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 1 1:00 p.m. Closed Sunday Last ticket sold one hour before posted closing time $01-794-1101 KIDS STRAW MAZE Con S(oc&4 TictOcr SquoA Tables available for groups wishing to bring own refreshment tell you what it's called, what it's for and what dosage is being be-ing written. This is information you should know, but it also helps your doctor mentally evaluate and review what he or she is doing. Keep a list of all the prescriptions, prescrip-tions, over-the-counter medications medica-tions and health supplements that you are taking. Make note of any medications you can't take, for example because of. an allergy. This will help the physician physi-cian avoid writing a new prescription pre-scription that might react dangerously, dan-gerously, or at least might not work as effectively, with your current regimen. Ask your doctor, or the pharmacist phar-macist filling the prescription, whether you should avoid certain cer-tain foods or beverages while taking a drug. A common error is the wrong dose of the correct medicine. If you're starting a new medication, medica-tion, double check the dosage with your doctor as you leave andor ask your pharmacist if this is the usual dose for the drug's intended purpose. If you're receiving a refill of a drug you've taken before, make sure that you are getting the same drug in the same quantity. quan-tity. Keep in mind that your doctor doc-tor or pharmacist may have developing cancer," Anderson explains. Anderson says guidelines from the American Cancer Society (ACS) an the American Urologi-cal Urologi-cal Association call for annual exams for men over age 50. Men with a family history of prostate cancer, or African-American men - who as a group are at stastically higher risk of prostate pros-tate cancer - should start screening screen-ing at 40. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, radia-tion, or a combination of three therapies offer patients whose-cancer whose-cancer is diagnosed early an excellent ex-cellent possibility of successful treatment. The ACS says that although prostate cancer will kill an estimated 31,900 men in 2000, making it the second leading lead-ing cause of cancer death in men, the five-year survival rate for men whose prostate cancer is detected before it has spread to other organs is almost 100 percent. per-cent. As for annoying, noncancerous noncancer-ous conditions - generally called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - very early symptoms don't need treatment of cancer or infection is ruled out. However, How-ever, when symptoms become moderate - considerable slowing of the urine flow, waking up to urinate more than once at night andor feeling as if the bladder is never completely empty - two classes of medications are useful. use-ful.

The new version might be a different color or a different differ-ent size. The pharmacist who is filling the prescription can tell you if that is why your new prescription pre-scription looks o!ifferent. As with your doctor, repeat to your pharmacist the dosage and name of the medication when you pick up your order. This is obviously more difficult if you are receiving your drug by mail, but even in that case, most mail order prescription services ser-vices have a toll-free number to call to talk with a pharmacist. Ee sure to call that number if you have a question or concern. If you are taking several medications each day, a simple plastic organizer sold at most pharmacies can help you remember remem-ber to take the right pills each day. The organizers have compartments, com-partments, often numbered or dated, to help you remember if you took your medication that day. If you're too ill to manage your drugs, ask a friend or relative rela-tive to come with you to the doctor doc-tor or the pharmacy and to help you sort your medications for daily consumption at home. without signs alpha blockers, which relax the prostate muscles to allow normal nor-mal urinary flow, and hormone blockers, which shrink the prostate pros-tate by decreasing prostate-specified prostate-specified testosterone. Anderson says physicians can prescribe the two types of drugs in various vari-ous combinations to achieve the best individual results. If medication doesn't solve the problem, men might consider a relatively new oupatient procedure proce-dure called Transurethral Microwave Mi-crowave Thermotherapy CTUMT), m employ fc&yfce?. that uses microwaves to heat and destroy excess prostate tissue, tis-sue, explains Anderson. TUMT, while simple and highly effective for many people, is often not a permanent solu-' tions, says Anderson. And for men with larger glands or more significant obstruction, the "gold standard" remains the Transurethral resection of prostate pros-tate (TURP), by which the inner in-ner layer of the prostate is surgically sur-gically removed to increase urine flow. The operation is typically typi-cally an inpatient procedure with a recovery period of several weeks. Men who have persistent noncancerous non-cancerous urinary problems associated as-sociated with an enlarged prostate pros-tate should consult with, a physician phy-sician experienced in this area to achieve the least complicated solution offering the benefits they most need, says Anderson.
