I'm surprised that there are so few screwups.

Still, the best thing to do is go to one of the online pill identifiers when you bring a prescription home to make sure it's the right drug in the right dosage. It only takes a few seconds and makes you your best advocate. It's especially important when you're taking generic drugs and pharmacies swap manufacturers.
