Make sure to properly format your discussion post with respect to  in-text citations  and the  reference list . Use only  open-access sources  (avoid citing books other than your textbook and DO NOT USE articles that require special access).

A few suggestions:

· Read Chapter 15 in your textbook first. attached

· In your answer to #2, make sure you find the cost per dosage (or/and the course).

· Do some research and describe how this product is expected to work. What is the active ingredient? (In case the first 4 are fillers.) You may need other resources than the manufacturer/seller website.

· In your answer to #7, give a summary. Do not simply copy all the text from the package insert.

· Be specific in your answer to #10. If you don’t know anybody, you may want to look at user reviews for some ideas – but be sure to exercise critical thinking.

· Make sure to do some research (in addition to your own thinking) before answering #11 and #12. Look online for reported adverse effects.
