Tips on taking your medicine
Always read the instructions carefully
Always take your medicine as recommended. If in any doubt contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Measure your medicine carefully
( e.g. use a medicine spoon, or only inhale the recommended number of puffs). It is important to take only the recommended dose of your medicine, as too much can be harmful and too little might prevent the medicine from working properly.
For liquid medicines, remember to shake the bottle before measuring out the correct amount, as some liquid medicines may ‘settle’ at the bottom of the bottle.
Take your medicine at the recommended intervals and recommended time
When your doctor says you should take your medicine 3 times a day space out the doses fairly evenly (e.g. in the morning, afternoon and before you go to bed).
If your doctor tells you to take your medicine at a certain time of the day, follow this advice as it can be important with some blood pressure tablets and other medicines which work better at particular times of day.
