A correct medication routine
Simple habits that prevent mistakes
Weekly pill organizer
Organize medications in a pill box arranged by days and times - this significantly reduces the risk of error.
Updated medication list
Keep a complete list of all medications and dosages, and present it at every medical visit.
Taking medication at a fixed time
Try to take medications at the same time every day - this helps you remember and keeps the treatment effective.
A missed dose
Do not double a dose to "catch up" - contact the pharmacist or doctor about what to do in this case.
Proper storage
Store medications in a cool, dry place, out of children's reach, and according to the instructions on the leaflet.
Coordinate before any change
Do not stop or change a medication dose on your own - any change requires coordination with the doctor or pharmacist.
Contact a doctor or pharmacist if you notice
Important to remember
An updated medication list, an organized pill box, and coordination with the medical team - the safest way to manage medication at home.
