Optimising the use of medicines Supporting people to self-care Supporting people to live independently Supporting people to live healthier lives

Medicines can be used to stop us getting ill, help us stay healthy, control our conditions or cure an illness. But using them sometimes isn’t easy. You need to: 1. take them at the right times and in the right way 2. look out for side effects or for signs that you aren’t getting any better (or getting worse) 3. if you need medicines regularly make sure you always have enough of your medicines.

 Questions to ask about your medicines  What am I taking this medicine for?  Does this new prescription mean I should stop taking any other medicines?  How and when should I take my medicine?  How long should I take my medicine for?  When will it start working? How can I tell if it’s working?  Are there any foods, drinks, or other medicines to avoid while I’m taking this medicine?  What are the potential side-effects? What should I do if I think I have a side-effect?  What should I do if I miss a dose?  How do I get more of this medicine if it runs out?  Who should I talk to if I want any further help when taking this medicine?

If you have any questions speak to your pharmacist/Dr/Nurse. Especially if: you are thinking about stopping a medicine, or are not taking a medicine you have been prescribed for any reason you are finding it difficult to take a medicine as it was prescribed you are worried or concerned about side effects that you may be experiencing. It may also help to find out more about the condition that you have and if there is anything that you can do to help stay well.

Help you to understand your medicines (what they do, how to use them) so that you can make decisions about your treatment. This may mean choosing a different medicine or treatment if it suits you better.  Discuss with you your experiences of taking or not taking medicines, your views about what medicines mean to you and how medicines affect your daily life.  Look for ways for you to get, take or use your medicines that fit in with your daily life.  If you have any problems with your medicines help you to find solutions that you find acceptable.

NHS Choices has patient information about a range of illnesses and conditions as well as help for people wanting to stay healthy. Local community pharmacists are always available on your high street. Pharmacists provide free expert advice about medicines and information about a wide variety of health issues. The Royal Pharmaceutical Society has a website for members of the public with resources that can help you make the most of your medicines.
