Medication safety
What can I do to help with medication safety?
There are five questions you should ask about your medications:
1. Changes: Have any medications been added, stopped or changed, and why?
2. Continue: What medications do I need to keep taking, and why?
3. Proper use: How do I take my medications and for how long?
4. Monitor: How will I know if my medication is working, and what side effects
do I watch for?
5. Follow-up: Do I need any tests and when do I book my next visit?
