Taking
medicine responsibly means more than simply swallowing a pill
or applying a cream on your skin. Prescription medicines provide
many health benefits, but they are not risk-free. Using medications
safely is largely a matter of common sense and caution. With
proper use, you can ensure that you get the medicine’s
full benefits, avoid potential problems, and reduce your chances
of having side effects. Your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare
professionals can help you better understand the benefits and
risks about the medicines you are taking.

your physician, and provide you with some valuable information
to make sure you use medications safely ... and effectively.
