We respond to medicines differently and need to exercise care when consuming medicines to treat various diseases. It is important to follow your prescription and be mindful of the possible side effects of your medication. Following are some tips to ensure medicine safety and minimize risks of possible side effects on your health.
Ask your physician or nurse any questions that you might have about the medicine, such as, safety profile, instructions about timing.
You should consider asking your physician possible risks of the medicine you are taking, what you should be careful of and what you should do in the event of a side effect.
Oftentimes we ignore reading the package insert or patient leaflet tucked inside the medicine pack. It is important to look for information on any possible interactions between the medicines.
If you experience an adverse event or side effect after taking our medicine, please let us know right away.
