Take Action!
Keep track of your medicines.
- Make a list of the medicines you use [PDF - 340 KB]. Write down how much you use and when you use each medicine.
- Take this list with you when you go to the doctor or nurse. You may want to make a copy to give to a family member or friend.
- Make sure to read and save any information that comes with your medicine.
- Keep your medicine in the box or bottle it came in so you have all of the label information.
- Pay attention to the color and shape of your pills. If they look different when you get a refill, ask your pharmacist to double-check that you have the right medicine.
