Do you remember the names of your medication? Do you remember to bring your meds to show your doctor? Here are a few guidelines on the proper handling of your meds.
Medication Do’s:
Do inform your doctor if you are having any problems with your drugs.
Do inform your doctor if you have allergies to certain types of medicine.
Do inform your doctor if you are taking other medication at the same time. This includes over the counter medicines
Do inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or you think you may be pregnant. It is easy for small amounts to be transferred from mother to child.
Do get the proper information from your doctor as to why you are taking the medication.
Do make sure to read all the labels carefully.
Do make sure you are following your doctor’s orders exactly.
Do monitor any side effects of the drug. If there are any call your doctor right away.
Do store your medicines in a dry area. Sometimes your doctor may ask you to keep them cool in the refrigerator.
Do ask your doctor if you can take your meds with food. Some medication should be taken on an empty stomach; others should be taken with food to avoid stomach problems.
Do make sure you have enough supplies when traveling, in case you have to stay away longer than you planned.

Medication Don’ts: 
Don’t double the dosage, if you miss your dose; ask your doctor when to take the next one.
Don’t stop taking your medication unless you talk to your doctor first. Call your doctor if you have serious side effects. Sometimes stopping too soon can cause the problem to return or even make it more difficult to treat.
Don’t use other people’s medicines.
Don’t give others your own medication to take.
Don’t use expired drugs.
Don’t let your children have access to your meds. Keep them in a safe area
Don’t let your meds run out on you. Always have an idea when you will run out and have them renewed when required.
Don’t travel with your medication in your suitcase. If you have to travel put your medication in your hand luggage. This is important in case your suitcase gets lost.
Remember to check your doctor if in doubt.
