Tips for Safe Medicine Use
Medicines work best, and are safest, when used correctly. These simple habits help.
Good Habits to Follow
- Take medicines as prescribed: Follow the dose, timing and duration your doctor advised. Do not stop an antibiotic early unless your doctor says so.
- Tell your doctor about all your medicines: Include supplements, herbal products and over-the-counter medicines, since some can interact.
- Mention allergies: Tell the doctor and pharmacist about any past drug allergy or reaction.
- Do not share prescription medicines: A medicine that suits one person may harm another.
- Store medicines properly: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from children, and check the expiry date.
- Ask before changing anything: Check with your doctor before skipping, doubling or switching a medicine.
Pharmacists can explain how to take a medicine, but they do not replace your doctor. For new or worsening symptoms, consult a doctor.
