I've been on the pill for 25 years, and in that time have regularly "caught" pharmacists throwing out the little insert instead of giving it to me. I guess they think their instructions to "take one pill each day at the same time" should be sufficient. Hmmmph. My current pharmacy is very good, and always gives me the info sheet. Renee - There should be a little folded-up sheet of paper, filled with fine print, included with each package of pills. If it is not there, tell the pharmacist that you want it. If for any reason they will not give it to you, or don't have it, consider changing pharmacies (and tell them why they are losing your business). Do not accept a print-out from the pharmacy's drug database - those are OK as *additional* information, but aren't as complete and detailed as the original from the drug manufacturer. Good luck!
