Here’s a common scenario for some new parents: You bring your baby home from the hospital and all the little bundle of joy does is cry...cry, cry, cry. Chances are he or she might have colic. Almost 25 percent of all babies get colic and it tends to strike in the late afternoon or evening. Mayo Clinic family medicine physician, John Bachman, M.D., says parents need to first realize it’s not their fault and that no one really knows what causes colic.

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: Is it safe to order prescription drugs from an online pharmacy? ANSWER: Ordering online can be convenient. But if you choose to go through an online pharmacy to fill your prescriptions, be careful. You need to make sure the pharmacy you use is credible and properly licensed. Keep in mind, too, that if you use an online pharmacy, it is still worthwhile to get to know your local pharmacist. That way, if questions or concerns come up, you have someone you trust that you can go to for reliable information. There are about four billion prescriptions filled in the United States every year. Americans spend more than $300 billion a year on prescription drugs. Patients looking to save money may turn to online pharmacies, which offer to fill prescriptions at reduced costs. Many online pharmacies are legitimate. But, not all Web sites that offer prescription drugs can be trusted. Some are not pharmacies at all. With that in mind, it is very important that you take steps to help ensure your own safety when deciding to use an online pharmacy.
