Keep a record of the medications you are currently taking including prescriptions, supplements, and over-the-counter drugs; take it with you when you go to medical appointments or pick up prescriptions.
Always talk to your care team and pharmacists about your medications, instructions for taking them, and ask for clarification if there are things on your prescription label you don’t understand.
Read the directions and warnings on your medicine labels, including over-the-counter medications.
Keep your prescriptions and medications in their original containers.
Take medicine with a full glass of water, unless your pharmacist or care team say otherwise.
Do not stir your medicine into food, unless instructed to do so-this could change how the medicine works.
Don’t mix medicine into hot drinks; the heat can affect the effectiveness.
