Guidelines and Appropriate Use of Medicines

Here is a list of ways to use medicines the right way. This may be helpful to you when you are ill or don’t know the right ways to use medicines. This can also save you and your children lives.

• Don’t mix medicines. Mixing medicines can change the effect of those medicines and can cause harmful effects in your body.
• Don’t take a prescription drug prescribed to someone else. The prescribed drug is for that person and has certain things in it that are only for that person. Even if you have the same disease or illness, don’t take it. There are things that are for that person because of his/her blood type and other genetic qualities they have.
• Don’t us and OTC (Over-the -Counter) drugs for a long period of times. OTC drugs have many side-effects that when you use it for a long time it can kill you.
• Don’t ever think that if a little of the drug makes you feel good, and then a lot will make you feel better. If you take an over dose of a medicine it can kill you.
• Keep drugs away from children. They might think it’s candy and take a large amount and kill themselves.
