Keep one clear medicine list
Tell your pharmacist about allergies, pregnancy, breastfeeding, chronic conditions, and all prescription medicines, OTC products, herbs, and supplements you use. A complete list helps reduce interaction and duplicate-medicine risks.
Check before you take
Confirm the patient name, medicine name, strength, dose, timing, and storage instructions. Do not use expired medicines, share prescription medicines, or crush tablets unless a clinician or pharmacist says it is safe. Keep medicines away from children.
Frequently asked questions
What if my medicine looks different?
Ask the pharmacist before taking it. It may be a different brand or generic, but the pharmacy can confirm whether it is correct.
Can I mix herbal supplements with prescription medicine?
Some supplements interact with prescription medicines. Ask a pharmacist or clinician before combining them.
