Important Tips for Families
- Always follow the treating doctor's recommendations regarding medications, dosage and timing - do not rely on general information alone.
- It's important to update the family doctor after every visit, test, or consultation with a specialist, especially about any change made to the medication regimen.
- Any change, addition, reduction, or discontinuation of a medication - even if made by another medical provider - should be coordinated with the family doctor and/or the regular care team.
- It's recommended to keep an updated, complete list of all medications taken (including dosage and timing) and present it at every medical visit.
- Report any unusual side effect to the medical team, and do not stop taking a medication on your own without consultation.
- Be alert to the possibility of interactions between medications, supplements and herbal remedies - consult a pharmacist or doctor before adding a new medication.
- Store medications in a safe place, out of children's reach, according to the storage instructions on the patient information leaflet.
