Show this list to all doctors, pharmacists and dentists who are treating you. Take your medicine as ordered by your doctor. Do not change or stop taking any medicine until you talk to your doctor. Take your medicines at the same time each day. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on a special diet. Get a refill at least one week before your medicine is gone. Throw away unused or expired medicines. Do not take any new herbal products or over the counter medicines without first checking with your doctor or pharmacist.

New Medicine Check if the medicine is covered by your insurance or if a generic medicine can be used. Use only one pharmacy so that there is a record of all of your medicines. Ask your doctor or pharmacist these questions: How do I take this medicine? How long do I take this medicine? Do I take it until I am better? Is this a medicine I need to take always to keep my problem under control? What are the side eects and what do I do if they occur? What do I do when I forget to take my medicine? What do I do if I take too much medicine? Can I take this medicine with the other medicines I am taking? Storing Medicine Keep all medicines in their containers unless you are using a pillbox. Store medicines in a cool, dry place. Keep bottles tightly capped and out of the reach of children. Write down this information: What is the name of the medicine? Why do I take it? How much do I take? What times should I take it? 2
