If you miss a dose of your medication, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Never take two doses at once to make up for a missed one. Always consult with your healthcare provider for specific instructions.
To take your medication correctly, follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding dosage, timing, and any special requirements (e.g., with food or on an empty stomach). Use a medication organizer or set alarms to help you remember your doses. If you have any concerns about your medication, don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider.
Always inform your doctor about any over-the-counter medications, vitamins, or supplements you are taking. Some over-the-counter drugs or supplements can interact with prescription medications and affect their effectiveness or cause side effects. Your doctor will guide you on which medications are safe to take together.
If you experience any side effects from your medication, contact your healthcare provider right away. While some side effects may be mild and temporary, others could be more serious and require medical attention. Your doctor may adjust your medication, dosage, or suggest alternatives to help manage side effects.
Store your medications in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or moisture, and always keep them in their original containers with labels intact. Some medications may require refrigeration, so read the label or ask your healthcare provider. Keep medications out of reach of children, pets, and others who might misuse them.
