Medication Guide

Take Your Medications Safely & Effectively

Medications are prescribed to improve a patient’s health – whether it’s to fight a disease, lower cholesterol or provide pain relief. But, medications must be taken properly to ensure the best results.

As many as 120,000 deaths occur each year due to medications, making medicine the second leading cause of death in the United States. Keep a list of all medications that you take (including prescribed medications, nonprescription medicines, herbal products and home remedies). Also, be sure to keep a list of all medications you cannot take due to allergic reactions. Share these with your physician and pharmacist.

Medication Safety Guidelines

• Take only the medicine given to you by your doctor or pharmacist. Do not share other people’s medicine.
• Each time you take your medicine, read the label to make sure you are taking it correctly.
• If you have questions, call your doctor or pharmacist.
• Never take medicine in the dark.
• Do not stop taking the medicine just because you feel better unless your doctor tells you to stop taking it.
• Do not take your medicine out of one bottle and put it in another one.
• Put all of your medicine in a place where children and pets cannot reach it.
• Keep your "My Medicine List" or similar form updated.
• If you take medicine each day, using a compartmented medication box may be helpful.
• Do not keep medicine in the car, by the stove, or in the bathroom, since heat and dampness can affect how it works.
• Check the date on all medicine. Throw away all medicine if the date written on it has passed.
• If you feel that any medicine is making you sick or causing you pain, call your doctor right away.
