Medications: Play It Safe !
 Some medications can have serious side effects when taken
with others. To play it safe, follow these recommendations:
 Tell each doctor you see about ALL the medications
you are taking, whether over-the-counter or prescription drugs. Mention vitamins and
nutritional supplements as well
Be sure you understand your doctor's directions
about how much, when and for how long you should take each drug prescribed
Ask your doctor about side effects for each
medication, and what you should do if they occur
Always take the medication as prescribed.
Don't stop taking antibiotics after a few days even if you feel completely well. Next time
you take them, these antibiotics may be less effective.
Remember that your pharmacist knows the
medications, so feel free to discuss with him what you are taking.
